ROWAN DELACOUR.

How long did it have to last? That was the point of his question. She was acting like it was no big deal to switch back with all her options. If that was so then why worry about all this? She was making a big deal out of nothing. She was acting like all this was so long term when one of the options was a double switch. That meant switch before visiting day and just do all this basically soon… basically now. This was all fucking dramatics for nothing the way Bayden saw it. She was making a mountain out of molehill about her power. Lose shit. blah blah. If she loses half. She wouldn’t know it because it’s lost. It was a very get over yourself and own it sort of power the way Bayden saw it.

“This conversation is getting old. You’re repeating the same shit and going round in circles and not actually saying anything new or explaining anything of relevance or answering anything I actually asked.”

“Put it out there? Why would I want to harm my sister?”

BRowan shook their head.

“Are you under some sort of deluded idea I want to hurt my sister? You know what? Fuck you. Just… fuck you. All you do is complain. I’m sick of it. I hate all this negative shit. Your ideas are weirding me out. You’re going to fuck up my family. Get us switched back right now. You’re going to ruin my life because you’re an idiot and have no sense of fun in doing this at all what so ever. I’ll never be able to enjoy being you for a second because you’re going to suck at this Freaky Friday game. You’re big fucking fun sucker and you’re the worst witch I’ve ever met. Way worse than my sister. At least she knows how to have fun sometimes. You suck. Fuck losing anything.”

Then they slammed their shoestring burger down on the table and hopped up from their seat jumped into their lap and started hugging them all over again trying to make the magic switch happen again mashing their cheeks all up against the others. Moosh moosh moosh. Invade of personal space. Zero warning. Collide. Big time

THAT’S not, , , exactly what they said. Clearly they were recognizing that this wasn’t working. They needed a different angle. The signs where clearly there, It’s just harder to grasp in Bayden’s body. They pressed there lips tightly together. Deep down they didn’t want to push Bayden away, even when it would make things so much easier for themselves right now. Abruptly, they kept losing there grip on anger in Baydens body. Hurt too.

Yet Bayden’s words fell into the silence, sending a ripple of pain within them. They just couldn’t do this right now. It just felt like a knife to there chest. It’s way to fucking much for them. It burned every time they breathed, losing there grip convulsively. Muscles swelling under Bayden’s skin. The whitening of Bayden’s fingers digging into clenched fists. As they fought there anger. It’s worse they tend to see things that weren’t there. Flash after flash, image after image of metal && glass that weren’t there in the corner of there vision. They came faster now. In wild, dizzying successions. Ripples && colors appeared in reflective surfaces. As saying anything more just felt useless to the situation.

They couldn’t think anymore, let alone breath — oh no, they thought, trying in vain to move, && get on there feet before Bayden in Rowan’s body rushed over, jumping on there lap. While all they could hear was the AOL ( Sign On - Dial Up ) screeching in there head, pain vibrating in places they didn’t even know could hurt, feeling there head would split open any moment. Breathing hard as the nausea && dizziness came back with a counter-blow. Closing there eyes trying to decide what to do!

Nothing happened.

Of course nothing happened they already knew that from the moment they walked away from them earlier.

Seconds passed as it wasn’t that easy in Bayden’s body yet. Placing one of there hands on the back of Rowan’s head, they’d pivot, turning Rowan’s body flat on there back. Taking Rowan’s arms off Bayden’s body carefully without hurting them, as they took the opportunity to stand on there own two feet, not sure what to do anymore.

They took the opportunity to storm there way into the bathroom, && slam the door behind them. A soft CLICK. It was l o c k e d behind them.

Twisting the knob on the sink, it allowed the water to cascade out of the faucet as they rested there hands on either side of the sink && used it to support there weight. && like that, for a moment, they remained still, drenched in sweat && feeling ill that they had no energy to push themselves anymore. Drowning out any sound for a moment if any came from behind the door.

They took this moment to catch there breath. Catch there thought. TRY to o r g a n i z e themselves what to do && most of all control there anger. It was starting to get the better of them. Avoiding looking in the mirror’s reflection as they cleaned themselves off, but sensing there was a giant eye staring right at them. So close. Having that look: WHAT ARE YOU going to d o? If only it was actually there, then they’d just poke it where it hurts!

Instead they began to pace back && forth in that small space. Agitated. Angry. Hurt. It was a lot easier to guard themselves in the other body then it was in this one. It felt like lashes ripping at the skin, && there mind was to scattered. Disorganized. Having left the water running they quickly washed the sweat off there face, running there fingers through Bayden’s hair. FInding some towel to clean themselves off before they UNLOCKED && o p e n e d the door.

As they opened there mouth to say something, they just let anger take control. Invading Bayden’s personal space. Storming over to Bayden who was in Rowan’s body as they pinned them to the nearest wall a little more roughly then they liked. With that same zero warning they kissed them. It was the gentlest, the lightest of touches. That lasted only in a couple of seconds before they pulled away.

Fuck — they thought with nightmare calmness. Slowly there hands came off them as if they realized what they done, as they walked backwards creating space between them. “I don’t get what the FUCK is going on anymore. What the issues are anymore.”

“How many times do i have to say it? I care about you, && since I care about you, the last thing I want is to go about destroying your program, or go about r u i n i n g your relationships with your FAMILY. That’s the last thing i want to do!” Saying the first things that came to mind.

“&& stop painting your sister in a shitty narrative! END of d i s c u s s i o n. We are DONE t a l k i n g about your sister tonight. We are not mentally stable enough to even handle it!” As true as it was neither one of them were stable. Physically: Yes. Mentally: No. Instead, they just where going to move on from it. Why try to bother about it today. MONTY wasn’t h e r e. So they didn’t need to talk about it anymore, or worry about it anymore, or argue about it anymore. Right now it was to much pressure. Needing a moment without them around them.

“STAY h e r e.” Waving there hands around the desk area, as it wasn’t a command of any kind, but a suggestion well worth considering as they needed damn space from one another. “Let’s regroup after you’re done eating.”

Now that they said what they had to say, they set off again towards the front door. Everything felt so claustrophobic now in Bayden’s cottage, as if the walls where just closing in as there was no space to breath, or think, && the eyes were multiplying, staring back as angry as they where at them. Slamming the door behind them, hard, making the walls shutter a little from the force.

Yet it didn’t help. It didn’t help in the slightest.

It only helped them able to breathe a little better. Where everything was suffocating && so tight in Bayden’s cottage, the outside felt to spacious && endless. Leaving them perplexed as they noticed there wasn’t anything neutral anymore. Yet they guessed it had something to do with the ominous forest with frolicking mutants facing behind them to give them that.

NEVER will they let a n g e r guide them again in Bayden’s body, it lead to action’s they had no control over. Placing there hand over there lips. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. They panicked a bit on the inside. It’s worse when they liked it. Frankly, they couldn’t question there sanity even if they wanted to cause they lived in a rabbit hole of insanity && madness!

Trying. Focusing on what they said earlier. Trying to break it down, && make sense of it. Sitting on the bottom step defeated, propping there elbow’s on there knee’s. Resting there forehead in between balled up hands. Just trying to breath without the pain in there chest, && not think. As they couldn’t tell if the headache was worse then the anger.

Amazon opens up the Sidewalk network to developers for free in the US to galvanise the IoT market

On 28th of March 2023, Amazon announced its Sidewalk network project launched in early 2020, now covers 90% of the US population and is open to developers to test, build and create new IoT applications. AWS also announced Sidewalk networks integration with AWS IoT core, enabling Sidewalk-enabled partner devices to easily provision, onboard, and monitor Sidewalk devices at scale. The service is currently available only in the US and developers can use the AWS IoT core for Amazon Sidewalk for free using the AWS Free Tier(details here)

A few companies working with Amazon have also announced the launch of sidewalk-enabled devices which includes:

New Cosmos: Natural gas alarm

Primax: Woody, a smart door lock

Netvox: environmental sensor

Meshify’s: Moisture sensor

Browan: Motion and carbon monoxide sensor

OnAsset Intelligence: Sentinel 200 Asset tracker

Is Amazon Sidewalk just a connectivity network platform?

Amazon Sidewalk communication network is one of the 3 core components of the Sidewalk Device-To-Cloud (DTC) platform which includes:

Sidewalk connectivity network: The Sidewalk network is built and operated by crowdsourcing participating customers who enable the Sidewalk network using consumer bridge devices such as the Amazon Echo and Ring devices.

Sidewalk end-devices: Includes Amazon Ring devices and third-party end-devices that are embedded with Sidewalk radio chipsets running the proprietary network protocol and security certificates required to communicate on the Sidewalk network.

Sidewalk Network Server: The Sidewalk network server verifies and routes the data packets from end devices to the application servers.

The #Sidewalk platform is a Device-to-Cloud platform that is built on a crowdsourced, shared #IoT network that connects Sidewalk end devices with enterprise applications using the #AWS IoT Core. The AWS IoT core also offers developers application-level services and security among other functionalities. The application servers hosting the end devices and applications can either use AWS or third-party cloud application services.

How does Amazon monetise the Sidewalk platform when the Sidewalk network Is free?

By integrating the Sidewalk connectivity network, with the AWS cloud services, Amazon monetizes the data sent by Sidewalk-enabled devices to the AWS cloud. As enterprises use the crowd-sourced network to connect their devices, enterprise customers are charged a small fee every time a Sidewalk device transmits data to the sidewalk network server located in the AWS IoT core. In the near term, the revenues from data alone will be negligible as most of the Sidewalk end devices at the most transmit data a dozen times per day adding to a few Kbs of data per month.

However, over time as sidewalk-enabled devices generate millions of data packets that are routed via the AWS IoT core rules engine, this will help grow its opportunity pipeline for its cloud application services. Amazon Sidewalk will help drive enterprise demand and adoption of its cloud applications especially to manage (sort and query) through large volumes of small data packets sent by end devices. AWS will gain the most value as enterprises start to build applications to leverage its consumer and industrial IoT analytics services, especially advanced analytics services (machine learning and AI services) generating new revenue streams.

Overview of the Amazon Sidewalk network technology

Amazon Sidewalk Network is a Multi-Radio Access Network(#MRAN) wireless connectivity platform used to build a crowd-sourced, community-owned, Neighbourhood Area Network (NAN). The network is powered by mostly consumer Sidewalk bridge devices that use a small fraction of the customer's internet bandwidth (~80Kbps) and share it with other sidewalk customers to create a low-bandwidth, low-power #NAN.

Amazon customers who had already set up a sidewalk gateway device (Echo Or Ring devices) at the time of the launch in early 2020, an over-the-air (#OTA) update automatically connected the edge gateway to the network. Echo or Ring customers have the option to turn off the Sidewalk network feature at any time. This OTA update route to create the Sidewalk network without customers’ prior consent is unlikely to be used in European countries with strict laws protecting customer privacy.

In return for the customer's participation, Amazon manages the network to create a city-wide network which end-users can use for free to connect their third-party sidewalk-enabled devices. The Sidewalk network is available for free to other enterprises to offer consumer and enterprise IoT solutions using Sidewalk-enabled 3rd party devices.

The Sidewalk network is built through the integration of 3 wireless connectivity technologies-

Long Range Communication: Proprietary Sub-Ghz (915 MHz ISM band) LPWAN developed on Chirp spread spectrum (CSS/LoRa) radio PHY. The LoRa Phy technology is also used in the LoRaWAN protocol, the #LPWANtechnology managed by the #LoRa Alliance. The LoRa technology is the bearer technology used for long-range communication.

Medium Range Communication: Sub-Ghz(902-928 MHz) Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) technology. This is a legacy wireless technology used in various smart home security applications such as motions sensors, contact sensors and garage door openers.

Short Range Communication: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Phy(Bluetooth Low Energy or #BLE) operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

Identifying potential growth opportunities for the Sidewalk platform

Anchored on the Sidewalk communication network, the key strength of the Sidewalk platform is the complete integrated device-to-cloud stack. The Sidewalk platform helps enterprises easily onboard Sidewalk devices at scale and the low-cost pricing of AWS cloud services helps solution vendors reduce the overall solution TCO. A glance at the AWS IoT core price calculator will provide an indication of the cost of running devices using the Sidewalk platform.

Growth Prospects for Sidewalk Network: The Sidewalk network is currently available in the US only and covers over 90% of the population coverage. Amazon has made public its plans to expand its network footprint to other regions worldwide in the coming years. However, the success of the Sidewalk network in the US will set the pace of its network footprint growth in other regions.

Since the Sidewalk network relies on Amazon #Echo and #Ring customers, One of the recurring challenges for Amazon will be to ensure Amazon Echo and Ring customers participating in the Sidewalk programme remain high and to reduce churn.

Amazon will also need to ensure customer participation in the Sidewalk network programme remains high to ensure sufficient network redundancies are in place, in case some customers decide to turn off their Sidewalk feature from their devices. The only way Amazon can ensure the Sidewalk network continues to thrive is by ensuring participating Echo and Ring customers see immediate and recurring value in the form of new digital devices and services.

In early 2022, to address potential opportunities in the enterprise IoT market, Amazon Ring announced its #Sidewalk Bridge Pro, a ruggedised outdoor gateway. The weatherproof, enterprise-grade gateway will help Amazon expand its network coverage to public spaces such as parks, city centres, universities, businesses, and other places which are not covered by consumer echo and ring bridge devices. The Sidewalk Bridge Pro is designed to be deployed by businesses and municipalities to complement the residential network coverage.

The Sidewalk Bridge Pro will help expand the Sidewalk network by enabling:

On-demand network availability for enterprises that have an immediate demand for campus networks and are willing to host the network infrastructure.

Will help expand network coverage from existing population coverage to wider regional coverage.

The outdoor gateway devices will also help add necessary network redundancies in residential places where Amazon Ring and Echo customer participation is low or the network requires densification.

The success of the Sidewalk network will depend on the growth in the device and solution ecosystem in the US before it launches the service in other regions. The future regional network roll-out will also depend on regional privacy laws and the residential penetration of Amazon Echo and Ring bridge devices used to build the network. The Sidewalks regional network which includes LoRa and FSK technologies will operate on different sub-GHz frequency bands

Based on Amazon’s Sidewalk bridge shipment data, regional network footprint growth will likely be as follows.

Rest of North America: Canada

Europe: Western Europe followed by Eastern Europe

APAC: India, East Asia and the rest of South East Asia. No presence in China.

Rest of the world: Latin America and MEA.

As the Amazon Sidewalk network operates as a single network, when regional networks outside of the US are rolled out, Amazon can offer a roaming-free global network as long as the device's radio hardware is capable of switching to regional Sub-GHz frequency bands.

Growth Prospects for Amazon Sidewalk Devices and Applications

Amazon's Sidewalk platform strategy is focused on driving device makers’ adoption of the platform to develop sidewalk-enabled devices for enterprises and consumer applications. Amazon has announced its partnership with hardware communication module vendors including #Nordic Semiconductor, #Silicon Labs, #Semtech, Texas Instruments and #Quectel.

As the Sidewalk radio hardware matures, one of the developments to watch out for will be a single SKU global radio hardware that enterprises can embed in their devices. This would help global device OEMs and solution providers drastically reduce their design costs of having to modify their devices to operate in each region. This would also have value for enabling application verticals such as asset tracking that requires seamless connectivity across different regions.

The Sidewalk platform operates on 3 business models to target consumer and enterprise markets:

Business to consumer: Consumer IoT(Smart Home)

Ring acquired by Amazon in 2018 provides consumer home security and smart home devices. The sidewalk network supports Amazon Echo and Ring customers to connect Ring devices including doorbells, outdoor cameras, outdoor lights, and Alarm systems that are beyond the range of the home Wi-Fi network and other Personal Area Networks (PANs). The Sidewalk network's extended range capabilities will also help Ring offer new consumer devices such as pet trackers, asset trackers, outdoor irrigation systems, motion sensors and other connected devices.

Business to Business to Consumer :Consumer IoT(Smart home, asset track and trace)

The sidewalk platform is open to other enterprises that want to develop IoT devices and services for end consumers. Some examples of enterprises using the Sidewalk platform to offer consumer IoT services are as follows.

Tile, a leading consumer track and trace solution provider is one of the early adopters of the Sidewalk platform.

Speciality insurer HSB has also announced its IoT subsidiary, Meshify will connect its proprietary water leak sensors for homeowners through the Amazon Sidewalk platform.

Careband, a wearable device for elderly care, has announced plans to test the Sidewalk platform to offer services to its CareBand customers.

Amazon announced the Fetch pet tracker in early 2020 and has since been developing its cloud-geolocation service to enable more consumer asset track and trace use cases.

Business to Business: Enterprise IoT: (Smart City, Industrial IoT, Asset visibility)

Amazon Sidewalk offers system integrators and solution providers a fully integrated DTC platform to cost-efficiently test, build and operate enterprise IoT applications and services. Utilities and city municipalities deploying smart city applications such as streetlights, water meters, parking sensors, air quality sensors, and other environmental monitoring sensors will benefit from an integrated DTC platform service in reducing its solution time to market and cost. Enterprises benefit from Amazon’s vast partner network which includes software partners, hardware partners, service and consulting partners, system integrators, and distributor partners. The AWS Partner Network has more than 100,000 partners from more than 150 countries, with almost 1/3rd or 30,000 partners based in the US.

In 2022, Amazon announced a collaboration with Arizona state university and Thingy to connect environmental sensors such as sunlight sensors, air quality indicators, and moisture sensors in places like commercial centres, parks, and wilderness areas.

Asset Visibility(Location tracking and condition monitoring): Asset track and trace applications have been a key vertical use case for the sidewalk network. Amazon has been partnering with solution vendors to develop its platform capabilities to offer more seamless and accurate geolocation services. In November 2022, Semtech announced a strategic agreement with AWS to license its LoRa cloud geolocation services to help AWS IoT core offer indoor and outdoor geolocation capability.

On March 28, 2023, Amazon announced its Sidewalk solution partner, #OnAssetintelligence, introduce its Sentinel 200, a Sidewalk-enabled asset tracker for logistics use cases. The Sentinel 200, is a multi-year battery life device with temperature, humidity, light, shock and motion sensors that provide timely and granular data on the location, status and chain-of-custody of shipments and assets moving through the global supply chain.

The sidewalk platform in its current form lacks several key network requirements to succeed in the B2B segment. One of the key network capabilities missing today is the Sidewalk Networks ability to guarantee network quality of service (QoS). However, The Sidewalk platform with its free communication network offers enterprises an opportunity to test proofs-of-concept at a minimal cost and examine the financial feasibility of digital transformation programmes.

Analyst view: “A rising tide lifts all boats…but those unable to change and adapt will fail”

With Sidewalk, Amazon integrates device-to-cloud data management capabilities with a communication network to offer simplicity to the enterprise's digital transformation programs. Device-to-cloud platforms that integrate multi-RAN technologies is a solution to reduce technology complexity. That said, the success of the Sidewalk platform will depend on how quickly the technology's adopted by device makers and enterprises to develop innovative new applications and services.

A cautionary tale: Sigfox, an early pioneer of the low-cost Device to Cloud platform using a proprietary LPWA network technology.

To give credit where it's due, #Sigfox was an early pioneer and strong advocate of a low-cost device-to-cloud (DTC) platform to address the market demand for massive IoT applications. Sigfox believed for enterprises to adopt massive IoT applications which may require deploying 100sK or millions of battery-operated sensor devices, it's crucial to drastically simplify the process and cost of transporting data from the device to the cloud. Sigfox was an advocate of the need for very low network TCO to encourage enterprise digital transformation.

To achieve this, Sigfox built its own DTC platform from the ground up based on its proprietary LPWA network also called Sigfox. Sigfox built and operated its cloud services located in Toulouse, France and only in 2021 had migrated its Sigfox network server to Google IoT core(which also shut down in 2022).

Sigfox launched its device-to-cloud platform services at around $1-$7 per annum per device. The cost varied depending on the volume of end-point connections but included regional sigfox connectivity service and sigfox cloud services. Sigfox as a disruptive technology faced severe criticism for its extremely low device-to-cloud connectivity pricing strategy and lack of financial viability to continue operating several of its large nationwide and citywide networks in Europe and the US respectively.

Sigfox witnessed some early success in smart home, smart metering and asset tracking use cases connecting almost 20 million end-points on its network within a span of 5 years. However, due several factors including financial difficulties due to slow revenue growth and the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic led to Sigfox filing for bankruptcy in early 2022.

Sigfox assets were subsequently acquired by Unabiz, a Sigfox network operator and system integrator. Unabiz in collaboration with over 60 Sigfox network operators is managing the sigfox technology and developing integrated solutions for enterprise Digital transformation.

Amazon Sidewalk in many ways has a similar business model to Sigfox. Similar to Sigfox, the Amazon sidewalk platform offers very low-cost device-to-cloud connectivity, but with several strengths to ensure longer-term sustainability of the business.

By crowd-sourcing the network, majority of the network infrastructure costs required to build and operate the Sidewalk network (except for the Sidewalk Network server) are borne by its Amazon Echo and Ring customers.

The sidewalk network integrates 3 established network technologies ie. LoRa, FSK and BLE. These technologies are backed by a global ecosystem of hardware and solution vendors.

The sidewalk platform has a strong anchor business use case in its successful smart home business. Amazon Ring uses the Sidewalk network to expand its connectivity coverage for security sensors, lights, cameras and other sensor devices in the periphery of the customer's home and beyond.

The total cost of ownership (TCO) for solutions built on the Sidewalk platform will be a fraction of similar existing solutions using cellular or other LPWAN solutions in the market. The cost of BLE and LoRa connectivity hardware is sub $1 at scale. With free connectivity and the cost of the device to cloud platform service at a few 10s of US$ cents per device per annum, the Sidewalk platform drastically helps reduce the TCO for digital products and services.

AWS partner network consists of over 100,000 partners globally consisting of solution developers, system integrators, hardware partners, consultants and distributors.

The Sidewalk platform is integrated with the AWS IoT core which has over 200 services including machine learning and advanced analytics services.

Will Sidewalk complement or compete with other LoraWAN operators in the US?

There are several existing LoRaWAN service providers in the US including:

Public network operators: #Comcast #MachineQ, Senet and more recently Everynet.

Community networks: LoRiot, Things network and #Helium.

Private networks: #Senet, Comcast, Link Labs, and other enterprise customers.

Senet and Everynet two established LoRaWAN operators have deployed regional network infrastructure and offer it to enterprises in a Network as a Service (NaaS) model. Amazon Sidewalk network will compete with public network service providers but will potentially complement system integrators, solution vendors and other enterprise private networks. As the Sidewalk network footprint grows, it will become difficult for these public network operators to justify their connectivity costs compared to a free network. That said, Amazon Sidewalk which uses LoRa for long-range connectivity could benefit from partnering with LoRaWAN-managed network operators such as Senet and Everynet to densify its city-wide network and expand its geographical network footprint, especially in rural and industrial areas.

Nova Labs, Helium Network is one of the largest community-owned LoRaWAN networks in the US(coverage map-https://explorer.helium.com/iot/cities) and will directly compete with Amazon's Sidewalk Network. The Helium network has nearly a million hotspots running the LoRaWAN and is available in over 163 countries. Helium operates its LoRaWAN by rewarding its hotspot owners with blockchain-powered tokens that are generated for transferring device data to the cloud. Today Helium network has nearly 100 device makers and solution providers using the Helium network to offer IoT solutions.

System integrators such as Comcast MachineQ will benefit from leveraging the Sidewalk network by minimizing its network infrastructure costs and using its resources to develop vertical IoT applications and services for end customers.

Will Amazon Sidewalk complement or compete with Telcos Cellular LPWAN services in the US?

AT&T, #Verizon and #tmobile : Cellular LPWA network (#LTEM & #NBIoT) with nationwide coverage since early 2018. Teclos in the US has been monetizing its NB-IoT and LTE-M networks by offering connectivity services and several end-to-end solutions for enterprise customers. Today, Telcos cellular LPWAN connectivity services vary from $12-$36/device/annum and are calculated based on the end device’s data usage. Telcos have struggled to monetize their LPWA network infrastructure with connectivity service alone and have developed a three-pronged monetization strategy. Telcos in the US today offer enterprises a choice of IoT connectivity and/or software platform and/or end-to-end IoT solutions built through an ecosystem of hardware and solution partners.

Amazon Sidewalk will directly compete with telcos’ LTE-M and NB-IoT networks and their consumer smart home(B2C and B2B2C) offerings with the Sidewalk network. Furthermore, with Sidewalk Bridge Pro, Amazon will also be able to target enterprise IoT(B2B) applications such as smart buildings, smart parking, environmental monitoring etc where telcos offer connectivity services and/or end-to-end solutions.

That said, a heterogeneous network architecture that integrates cellular networks and the Sidewalk network will further augment the Sidewalk platform in addressing a broad range of enterprise IoT solution requirements. Cellular LPWA network's nationwide coverage will also help the sidewalk platform address applications such as outdoor asset-tracking requiring broader geographical coverage, lower latency and frequent data transmissions.

Will Amazon Sidewalk complement or compete with Mesh networking technologies used in smart city applications in the US?

Mesh networking technologies based on IEEE 802.15.4(#Zigbee, #Thread) and #Zwave are two dominant connectivity technologies used in smart home applications. Proprietary LPWAN technologies such as LoRa and Sigfox are more energy efficient and hence have gained market share in the smart home market replacing mesh technologies to connect battery-operated sensor devices. The extended range of capabilities of LPWAN technologies has an advantage over Wi-Fi and mesh network technologies that require additional gateway or bridge devices to extend the network range to basements or the periphery of the homes.

Mesh networking technologies also have a growing market share in several smart city applications such as smart metering, parking and smart street lighting. These applications’ network requirements are currently addressed through the deployment of private networks. The sidewalk network is likely to have little to no impact in these segments until it can guarantee network QoS which is a critical application and business requirement

I just saw your browan edit and it so good. I miss them so much it so sad we never got a season 4 also what's your favorite scene with them?

Oh thank you! I know they are practically nonexistent in fandom now but they were such a fun ship to be on such a batshit show.

It feels like I watched that show in a fever dream state, but my favorite scene would probably be the kitchen scene from s3! The “what would happen if you did” “I have a fever” etc thing. It was so smooth, the chemistry was chemistrying, and it made me scream which is the main requirement for being my favorite scene.

Of course, all the protective Brandon scenes had me kicking my feet too.

#browan is the type of ship I might’ve written a fic for had I watched while the show was coming out #browan #ask

ROWAN DELACOUR.

Wrong.

BRowan was not wondering if they should be worried about his mother. He was telling Celeste straight up his mother she should be worried. She’d get it soon enough when they started to teach each other about one another’s lives and it got to Bayden’s turn to school up Celeste on what his life was really like. She had no clue what she was in for and Bayden was going to get so pissed off if she fucked up anything when it came to his mother. That was going to be the line cross of all line crosses. He sacrificed his whole life for that woman and Celeste messed it for him now he would die inside. Absolutely die.

“If you weren’t dating then who the fuck is Princeton? Just stop with the flowery cryptic talk already. You know I hate that stupid shit.”

Destroy someone?

“Dramatic much? All we did switch into some Freaky Friday shit. We’re fine.”

Phone drama.

“You know damn well I need the one that Briarcliff issued you until the moment I check out and I didn’t say I was. So, I need it no matter what your little special powers are, okay?”

BRowan really didn’t seem interested in pursuing and playing around with all their new powers. One would think they would be, but for now they were stuck on more important things to them. They never wanted power, but they might eventually figure out it’s useful.

Oh, she was absolutely afraid of Montgomery fucking Wardeyn. She was or she wouldn’t be worried about being found out. She wouldn’t be worried about being shoved in a soul box. The girl was no elite sorceress or almighty power like Monty. If she had any control of herself she wouldn’t choose to live in an asylum. If she suddenly became one that would only make her look less intelligent. You can’t be a super awesome overpowered person and trap yourself in such a dumb situation and it still be a believable situation. The girl lived in complete fear all the time unless she just talked too big for her britches. Bayden would never buy into any of that sort of thought process if he ever heard it. Then he did. She said it out loud.

BRowan rolled her eyes. “Then you’re an idiot because you should be, but thank you for playing along.”

Then out came the options.

BRowan kept blinking at all her ideas.

“Okay. Okay. Stop. Wait. Wait right there. Are you being sarcastic? Revenge trope. Revenge for what? Why the fuck would I want my sister in my body? Are you saying these are viable options? You would be willing to double switch? That means going back to our normal selves and then just go back this which you clearly don’t approve of. You looked so angry at me. I mean… “

They chuckled a little pointing out how much of a hypocrite they were after all this time if they weren’t being sarcastic.

“After all the don’t touch me bullshit? Now you want to touch on purpose and then touch AGAIN on purpose and DO IT AGAIN, which means we’d seriously be doing this by choice then, and for no other reason but… fun? I’m not even sure. You’re saying this as if you already can control it and just make all those options happen, like it’s no biggie. If all those options were so easy then you’ve been acting like this is such a big scary situation and making a big deal out of it for no reason. You’re literally telling me right now we can switch back whenever we want to. Yes or no? What makes you so willing to play all of all sudden when you’ve been an uptight bitch about it all this time to the point you never even told me, even cut your damn hair to avoid me?”

“Your options don’t make sense and are confusing the Hell out of me. Why would I want any of that? Truly

IGNORANCE is b l i s s, right? For Bayden anyway. Despite there uneasiness, they felt a slow flame of anger burning in there chest. They were confused about a lot of things right now, but they were not confused about how they felt right now.

Worried was HARDLY the e m o t i o n they were feeling. No. It was anger at Bayden, there wariness taking it’s grip, there unease scratching the surface, the hostile mocking attitude && thoughtless shit-planning with not a damn outcome in sight — they were HARDLY w o r r i e d.

What they couldn’t imagine is were all this was coming to. What this was leading to be. Bayden wanted them to act like him. Be him. Acting like Bayden for a short period of time is ONE t h i n g. However, how long would Bayden think this could last? How long does Bayden think this would work? What ever was happening was madness.

Truly && honesty they were not BAYDEN.

They knew from experience what it felt like, after all, deceiving at face value but it’s honestly different in Bayden’s case. They didn’t feel anything when they thought about it except ANGER that they are making the same damned m i s t a k e s they did in the past. Only very differently. There is only so much they can do as acting in Bayden’s place before it all falls apart.

As much as they are not a W a r d e y n.

They weren’t sure what was going on with Bayden, but they needed to. They cared for Bayden, far more than they should after seeing this side of them. As it all comes down to all that expectation && responsibility forcibly depended on them. Not anyone else, just them, or it’s over.

&& they never really COULD b e a Wardeyn.

&& yet there’s only one thing that can blind someone as smart as them. Caring. The fact that they cared enough to play along into this FUCKING m a d n e s s of there’s was really weighing on them. They just caught feelings for someone they wish they haven’t.

They had enough STRESS in there l i f e already. Taking a deep silent breath as there brain worked hard to organize each of there thoughts in a body that sends paroxysms of throbbing pain in the head. Pushing forward regardless of the headache. They thought the many various outcomes to each situation could bring && have some half-baked backup plan. As they spent mulled over there ideas in flustered agitation, counting for each possible calamity, which there were to many.

They only worried for the person they cared for, who was clueless to the out of control mess in front of them.

“ENOUGH already.” Barely having control as there frustration slipped a little. “Just d r o p it Bayden!” They should have never brought it up in the damn first place! What more was there to say after saying the same thing? Clarifying. Back to the beginning line — he’s GOOD k i d.

Yet that kind of thinking on Bayden end breeds disaster && destruction. “Yeah? Nothing to worry about then.” Everything was far from fine but as the situation was out of there own control. Whatever Bayden was avoiding — whatever was going on with them. What space Bayden needed. They still stayed six feet away from them regardless. The support Bayden needed, however irrational it was. They gave it to them.

“A h,” it was all coming back to them as It had been quite some time nearly forgetting. There was a tense unhappiness as they felt a pang in there chest like something getting broken or becoming soft as they just stared at the ceiling. It get’s harder && harder to breath. Let alone think anymore as they weren’t sure anymore. Constantly being compared to Rowan. Again. && again. Monotonously explaining “I yeeted that over the Briarcliff fence my second day being here.” Before they even knew each other. There was no point in having one, as there was still no point in having one. “DR. W a r d e y n was warned.” Not that that made it any better.

Nobody really has everything figured out, no, but they changed. They lost half of themselves, && can’t bring themselves to connect to that side of themselves anymore that held on. They weren’t a person of many regrets. They were a person of so much guilt. The lives they ruined && very well wrecking? They never regretted the existence of themselves. . .until right now. It’s worse when it doesn’t matter who they where or who they used to be — maybe Bayden’s actions where right. If they hadn’t been SELFISH, they would have never met e a c h o t h e r. If they never met EACHOTHER, Bayden wouldn’t be in this fucking m e s s.

They didn’t fear Montgomery Wardeyn, what they once had feared before, now is a place they feel they deserve to be. Look what’s happening around them? It’s happening all over again but terribly different && they are having strong negative opinions of there very existence. Again. Hurting someone they cared about. It’s happening all over again. Alienated. The very thought of there vain && conceited existence made there heart clench painfully in there chest. The spiral of emotions was too much pressure Too much to deal with. Being really alone in this. They pushed it down, burying it for now.

“There’s no reason for me to be scared of your sister Bayden. Not anymore at least.” Shifting. No longer laying on there side as they laid on there back as there was a silence.

“SURVIVAL.” It was just one word that corrected Bayden, that filled the silence in the room. Closing there eyes, as they all have that feeling time to time. Where life gets to tiring && there’s even a point in there lives where they may even ask, should they just give up?

Tired of this life, tired of the burden they carry on there shoulders. Today, they lost half of themselves, but what about next time? The time after that? They have always been trying to understand the meaning of PAIN. The answer. . .p a i n of losing someone that only left the best memories to live on.

They don’t get to choose what STAYS && what g o e s. That’s the nightmare in it all. It’s a hard choice to make, but it couldn’t be helped.

“What do you want me to say?” The hopeless reality that they should be afraid of his sister? That if all fails just give up? Give in?

“It doesn’t fucking matter. It could be over for ME, but it doesn’t have to be for y o u.”

“Regardless of how perfect we are in each other’s roles Bayden, I CAN’T just pretend to be y o u forever.”

“You’re sister, more or less likely will know somethings off. If not NOW, then l a t e r. I’m not a WARDEYN, but y o u are. Putting Monty’s soul in you’re body, && putting you’re soul in Monty’s at least keeps you together && better off. If you don’t want to try any other way.”

“I have no doubt not everyone adores you’re domesticated turkey of a sister in that school. In the cross confusion another’s name would be bound to come out, that has some vendetta, or jealousy, or hatred, or crazy conspiracy she has against you’re sister. If you put it out there, it’s believable. It you put it out someone was trying to harm her, it’s believable.” It bought time. Time that Bayden needed for whatever reason they needed. Was it reversible. . . they had no clue.

“If I FAIL. Well I f a i l.” They die. They’ll obviously die rEgArDlEsS. If they succeed? It’s no victory. They lose, it’s not just the rest of themselves, it’s everything && that’s just the damn same as dying. “What choices do I have? It doesn't matter if I’m scared or if I can’t stand the idea of it because now you’re involved && it makes everything different because of you. I don't matter, all that matters is if it works." If. Could work. Might fail. Die by trying or die by doing nothing. “I’ve got EVERYTHING to l o s e.”
