Hubble Network has launched the Hubble BLE Finding Network, a global constellation of satellites designed to detect Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals from devices, enabling tracking worldwide. The initial network comprises seven satellites—four recently launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-14—and a ground gateway infrastructure of more than 88 million scanners, with plans to expand to a 60-satellite constellation by 2028 to achieve near real-time global coverage.
Built for enterprise use cases—from asset tracking and cold-chain monitoring to fleet safety and remote-site operations—Hubble’s low-bandwidth, encrypted system allows businesses to retain full control of their telemetry data without the need for new hardware, the company said. Users can integrate a firmware update into existing BLE-enabled devices to enable satellite-based location tracking.
Hubble’s satellite BLE system offers a potential backup to GPS in scenarios where traditional positioning services are unavailable or unreliable. By leveraging BLE transmissions picked up in low Earth orbit and delivering geolocation data, the network provides a complementary pathway for tracking that could enhance resilience in emergency services and industries.
The startup previously made history with the first-ever Bluetooth transmission directly to space in March 2024. CEO Alex Haro said that Hubble’s BLE solutions deliver “20 times less battery drain and 50 times lower operating costs” compared to existing IoT satellite services.
Hubble is currently onboarding developers and enterprise customers, offering detailed documentation and SDK access to facilitate rapid adoption, the company said. As it scales toward a 60-satellite network, the company sets its sights on connecting billions of BLE devices and opening new markets in logistics, agriculture, defense, and public safety.
