SEATTLE, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hubble Network has achieved a monumental
milestone: the first-ever Bluetooth connection directly to space.
This landmark success follows the company's $20 million Series A funding round led by
Transpose Platform and Y Combinator. The investment provided the
capital necessary to develop and successfully launch Hubble's first
two satellites. Launched from Vandenberg
Space Force Base on March 4,
2024, these satellites have not only successfully reached
their orbits but have also received signals from a 3.5mm Bluetooth
chip over 600 km away.
"Our mission to build the world's first
truly global, cost-effective, and battery-efficient network has
taken a significant leap forward with this technological
breakthrough," said Alex Haro,
co-founder. "We have disproved thousands of skeptics who claimed
what we're attempting was impossible."
The recent milestone marks a pivotal advancement for Hubble
Network. Traditional networks often struggle with insufficient
coverage, complex integrations, high battery consumption, and
prohibitively high costs, limiting their practicality and scope. By
equipping any off-the-shelf Bluetooth-enabled device to connect
directly to Hubble's satellite network without relying on cellular
reception, this technology promises to revolutionize the Internet
of Things (IoT). It addresses these long-standing issues by
offering global coverage, 20x less battery drain, and 50x lower
operating costs. This order-of-magnitude increase in capability is
expected to transform various industries, connecting over a billion
devices worldwide and opening up new possibilities for innovation
and efficiency.
"Our mission to build the world's first truly global,
cost-effective, and battery-efficient network has taken a
significant leap forward with this technological breakthrough,"
said Alex Haro, co-founder and CEO.
"By showcasing that we can send signals directly from Bluetooth
chips and receive them in space over 600km away, we have disproved
thousands of skeptics who claimed what we're attempting was
impossible."
The successful satellite launches mark a critical stride toward
Hubble's vision of a universally connected world. Hubble Network is
now actively working with pilot customers across diverse sectors,
including consumer devices, construction and infrastructure, supply
chain and logistics, agriculture, oil and gas, and defense, to
unlock the vast potential of BLE-based remote monitoring, asset
tracking and many more untapped possibilities.
"Our innovative approach allows existing Bluetooth-enabled
devices to be retrofitted to transmit data to the Hubble Network
without any hardware modifications, ushering in a new era of
connectivity," said Ben Wild,
co-founder and CTO. "With nearly five billion Bluetooth devices
sold annually, our network has the potential to significantly
impact numerous fields by making global connectivity accessible,
low-power, and affordable."
The company is committed to further expanding its satellite
network to increase the capacity and frequency of satellite flybys,
supporting its mission to build a secure network that is not only
global but also cost-effective and battery-efficient.
