Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Hubble Network has demonstrated Bluetooth-to-satellite communication from orbit, developing technology that connects standard Bluetooth chips directly to satellites without hardware modification.
ACTIVEHubble Network operates a low-Earth-orbit satellite network that lets standard Bluetooth Low Energy chips send location and sensor data via satellite after a firmware update, without dedicated satellite hardware. In 2024 it reported establishing a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite.
Hubble Network takes a radically different approach to satellite IoT by targeting the ubiquitous Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard rather than requiring custom satellite modems. By building highly sensitive receivers on their satellites, Hubble can detect standard Bluetooth signals from the ground, enabling asset tracking and monitoring for devices that already contain Bluetooth chips.
