Η Hubble Network became the first company in history to create a direct-to-satellite Bluetooth connection, a critical technology validation for the company that potentially opens the door to connecting millions of devices anywhere in the world.
The Seattle-based start-up launch them two its first satellites in orbit with the SpaceX's Transporter-10 vehicle transport mission on March. Since then, the company has confirmed that it has received signals from the 3,5mm Bluetooth chips from over 600 kilometers away.
The newly established company states that the technology of it can be used in various markets such as for cattle tracking, smart pet collars, GPS watches for children, car inventory, construction sites and soil temperature monitoring.
Haro (not grace) said low-orbit satellites are for industries desperate for network coverage even once a day, for remote asset monitoring, for the oil and gas industry.
As the technology develops, Hubble will focus on it caution of in areas that may need more frequent updates, such as ground monitoring, or in continuous coverage use cases, such as monitoring for accidental falls of the elderly.
Once up and running, a customer will simply need to embed their device's chipset with a firmware that will enable connection to Hubble's network.
