About

Hubble Network builds a low-power connectivity platform that lets Bluetooth-enabled IoT devices transmit data through its terrestrial network and planned satellite constellation without modems, gateways, or custom hardware. It sells primarily to developers and enterprises in logistics, infrastructure, defense, supply chain, agriculture, and consumer IoT, differentiating through Bluetooth-native connectivity and a path from widespread terrestrial coverage to remote satellite coverage.

Market

Hubble competes in satellite IoT, direct-to-device connectivity, and enterprise asset/location tracking. Its positioning is differentiated by using standard BLE chips and advertising packets over a combined terrestrial-and-satellite network, avoiding a dedicated satellite modem, new RF chain, dense infrastructure, or major hardware redesign; competitors such as Skylo, Sateliot, and OQ Technology generally emphasize cellular or 3GPP NTN architectures, while other satellite-IoT providers use proprietary hardware stacks.

Target Customers

Hubble primarily targets enterprise and scaling product teams in logistics, supply chain, fleet management, facilities, industrial asset tracking, cold-chain monitoring, and workplace safety. Its strongest fit is for organizations deploying or managing large numbers of standard BLE-enabled devices that need low-cost, low-power location or telemetry without installing dedicated infrastructure.

At a Glance

Problem

Hubble Network addresses a central problem in massive IoT: businesses need low-cost visibility into assets and sensors across supply chains, fleets, facilities, agriculture, maritime environments, and other locations where cellular coverage is unreliable or unavailable. Cellular and conventional satellite solutions can require dedicated modems, carrier infrastructure, higher hardware costs, and more power; meanwhile, many monitoring applications only need to transmit small packets such as a location, temperature reading, motion event, or status flag. Hubble’s published comparison prices its connectivity at approximately $1–2 per device per month, and it estimates that Bluetooth hardware can save $150,000–$250,000 versus more than $1 million for 50,000 construction-equipment trackers.

The strongest use case is high-volume, low-margin asset tracking and monitoring in remote or intermittently connected environments. A small, inexpensive Bluetooth device that lasts for years can provide useful visibility without the cost and battery drain of GPS or cellular hardware. This is particularly attractive for construction equipment, cold-chain and logistics assets, remote agriculture, maritime equipment, and environmental sensors, although applications needing real-time bidirectional control or high bandwidth remain better suited to cellular connectivity.

Product / Service

Hubble provides a Bluetooth-based IoT connectivity platform built around two networks and one device chip. Its terrestrial network uses passive scanners, phones, gateways, and existing infrastructure; Hubble says it has more than 88 million such scanners already deployed. Customers can use standard Bluetooth Low Energy hardware, update the Bluetooth advertising format, and connect through Hubble’s APIs and SDKs without installing new infrastructure or using a custom modem. The company says customers retain ownership of their devices, data, APIs, and analytics, with rotating IDs and encrypted payloads for enterprise security.

The satellite layer extends the same Bluetooth approach directly to low-Earth-orbit satellites. Hubble’s architecture is designed for small packets of up to 13 bytes, works with standard microcontrollers, and uses high-gain phased-array antennas to detect weak BLE signals from more than 600 kilometers away; Hubble claims the approach can deliver multi-year coin-cell battery life. As of March 2026, the company reported operating seven satellites with at least one global revisit every 24 hours, while working toward a 60-satellite constellation with 15-minute revisits by 2028. The terrestrial service is live, while the broader satellite service is still being scaled and is described on Hubble’s homepage as coming soon.

Market

Hubble competes in massive-IoT connectivity and direct-to-device satellite IoT, with overlap into Bluetooth finding networks and cellular IoT. Its alternatives include Apple Find My, Google Find Hub, and Amazon Sidewalk on the Bluetooth side; cellular IoT networks for applications requiring stronger real-time connectivity; and satellite operators or architectures such as Skylo, Kinéis, and Swarm/SpaceX. Hubble’s positioning is differentiated by combining Bluetooth’s low hardware and power requirements with satellite reach, an open developer model, and no platform-specific certification gatekeeping. It is best suited to low-bandwidth, largely uplink-oriented monitoring rather than high-bandwidth data, guaranteed real-time uplink, or remote command and control.

The company appears to be in funded pilot and early commercial scale-up rather than a mature revenue stage. Hubble was founded in 2021, raised a $70 million Series B in September 2025 for $100 million in total funding, and told SpaceNews it had more than ten pilot customers, each representing millions of potentially connected devices. Its seven-satellite constellation and planned expansion provide meaningful technical traction, but the available evidence does not report revenue figures or establish a full commercial satellite rollout; Hubble has said the constellation will be funded through a mix of equity investment and customer revenue as it scales.
