The phones will pickup the Bluetooth beacon and relay the phone's gps to the tracking service. Basically a GPS by proxy on behalf of the tracking token.
It relies on random folks wandering by and the Bluetooth token snagging enough "air time" to report home.

How do the air tags work. In other words, how do they get connectivity to the world. Most of the stuff I have read talks about blue tooth but that isnt worth anything over distance.
