Bianca Partners with Tile to Introduce The World’s First Key That Finds Itself
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The car beeps outside. You’re already late. You can’t find your keys. Like so many others, you’re out of time and stressed. Today Bianca, the world’s first key with built-in locater, has solved this problem.
Bianca is the smart key that finds itself. A matchbox-sized Bluetooth tracker with a small speaker, wrapped around a house key. Bianca leverages the Tile® Platform to create the world’s first smart key — the biggest innovation that house keys have ever seen.
Today, Bianca launches its pre-order campaign for keys shipping in March. Homeowners, Airbnb Hosts, Renters, Roommates, Parents of Teens, and others interested in pre-ordering may get theirs at BiancaKey.com now.
Bianca is simple to use. Find your key within the wide, 100-foot range. Simply ring and listen for it. Use the key in reverse to find your phone — even if it’s on silent. If the key is outside of range, activate your own search party using the Tile app. Every day more than two million unique items are found by the growing millions of Tile community members.
3 Easy Ways to Find Your Bianca:
- Ring your misplaced Bianca using the Tile® app.
