AlzaGuard Hero Universal Tag Launches Support for Apple and Android Networks
Bluetooth item finders can now operate across both Apple and Android ecosystems through a new device lineup released by Alza. MobilMania.cz reported this week that the newly introduced AlzaGuard Hero Universal Tag series drops its previous restriction to Apple’s Find My network by adding compatibility with Google’s Find Hub network.
Universal compatibility requires manual configuration, as each tracker functions on only one network at a time rather than connecting to Android and iOS devices simultaneously. The lineup consists of three distinct models designed for different tracking use cases.
AlzaGuard Premium Hero Universal Tag Specifications and Pricing
The AlzaGuard Premium Hero Universal Tag features a shape similar to the Apple AirTag and fits inside identical protective cases, though it includes distinct ridges along its outer edge. Available in six color options, it carries a price of 599 CZK, according to MobilMania.cz. Alza also offers a discounted bundle containing four black units for 1,699 CZK, with keychains included in the packaging.
This model measures 32 × 32 × 9 mm, weighs 10 grams, and holds an IP66 protection rating. Power comes from a standard CR2032 coin cell battery rated for a one-year lifespan.
Standard Hero Universal Tag and Luggage Lock Options
The standard AlzaGuard Hero Universal Tag comes pre-shaped as a keychain in black and white color variants for 499 CZK. It shares the same 10-gram weight, 1-year battery life using a CR2032 cell, and IP66 protection rating as the premium version, but features a larger footprint measuring 44 × 44 × 11 mm.
For luggage tracking, the AlzaGuard Hero Universal Tag in TSA Lock retails for 699 CZK. Shaped like a traditional travel lock with a built-in steel cable to secure zipper pulls, it integrates a three-digit numerical combination and TSA access for airport security inspections. Unlike the battery-operated tag models, the lock version relies on an 80mAh rechargeable accumulator via USB-C with a three-month battery life, spanning dimensions of 85 × 50 × 15 mm and weighing 80 grams without an IP rating listed.
