Topic summary

A Bird scooter charger seeks a precise method to locate scooters inside apartment buildings, as the scooters' GPS positions on the app are often insufficient due to tenants hiding them indoors. The scooters broadcast their location via cellular networks using SIM cards. Suggestions include using RF direction finding techniques with directional antennas to detect the scooter's signal, but this requires knowledge of the specific broadcast frequency and sophisticated digital RF tracking equipment due to interference from numerous cellular devices. The Bird app previously featured an alarm function to emit a sound from the scooter for easier location, but this was removed due to noise complaints and is reportedly difficult to reinstate. The company likely does not provide more precise location data to chargers to prevent scooter loss.
