In the era where people’s safety is of great concern, the Tile Pro has described a new device that can protect the users to the highest level. Being one of the most popular Bluetooth item finders on the market, Tile has decided to go big by updating its trackers with a feature that turns them into panic buttons for saving lives.
The Tile Pro, Tile Mate, Tile Slim, and Tile Sticker in the 2024 series focus on the user’s health as their priority in evolution. Other than its configurations and sizes, Tile has experienced changes in many ways to improve its features and efficiency of these devices.
Unmatched Range and Connectivity
The Tile Pro can be seen as the most distinct from the other devices, as it has the largest bluetooth range of 500 ft, which is 100 ft more than in Tile Pro. This feature of extended range makes certain that users can be able to close the connection between their devices despite the extremities of the environment. The enhanced connection is also very useful for locating the lost items, as well as for implementing the new emergency alert system on the device.
Unlike its high-precision of UWB signals found in rivals like Apple’s AirTags or Samsung’s SmartTag 2, The Tile Pro provides the user-replaceable battery. This feature makes it easier for the users to replace the battery whenever it runs out, that way The Tile Pro is always ready to perform its function.
SOS Alerts: A Life-Saving Innovation
The most radical innovation on The Tile Pro and its counterparts is the SOS Alert. Users can easily send an emergency alert by pressing this button thrice on the device and it will automatically contact the alerted numbers. This action activates an undisclosed 15-secs count-down and then alerts the user’s emergency contacts through text messages and push notifications of the unfolding incidence.
In some extreme circumstances, it can also automatically call Tile’s emergency response center, if the user has signed up for the Life360 Gold service with the Tile manufacturing company. This redundancy gives confidence that help is nearby provided the moment the user cannot access his or her phone or contacts.
Seamless Integration with Life360
After Life360 acquired Tile about just over three years ago, both companies have made a conscious effort to integrate user experiences. The SOS Alert on the Tile Pro is practically an extension of Life360’s existing emergency alert system where you can now remotely use the button on the Tile device to trigger an emergency alert.
To fully benefit with this wonderful feature, one has to link the Tile Pro with the Life360 app on his or her smartphone and then keep the phone close. This integration makes it possible that alert messages are dispatched in a short time and effectively so as to increase the possibility of its reaching a helping hand in time.
Privacy and Security Considerations
Where The Tile Pro and its companion Life360 app are very helpful in enhancing personal security, it is crucial to look into other drawbacks or loss of privacy that the devices may bring. This year in March, Life360 was involved in a data breach incident where a hacker further accessed some of the Tile customers’ data.
Considering this case, both Tile and Life360 have already improved their security and tried to protect the users’ information. Therefore users should always protect themselves and where possible apply protective measures like regularly updating their devices and choosing unique and complicated passwords for their accounts.
A New Era of Personal Safety
The Tile Pro allied with the innovative SOS Alert is one of the major breakthroughs in personal safety devices. This leads to more power packed tracking with an effective emergency alert system which make Tile more than just a means of tracking lost items but its safety to users who have been lost or face some form of danger.
In the context of an ever-growing uncertainty of the world around us, The Tile Pro is that little beacon of safety that is hard to come by these days. If you are a lone traveler, a concerned parent, or just an individuals who would want to be separated from harm, The Tile Pro is a must-have in your arsenal.
