Hubble's satellite network aims to revolutionize Bluetooth connectivity
The idea of connecting with every Bluetooth device worldwide was met with a great deal of skepticism. Many people considered it unrealistic. However, the start-up Hubble Network argues that their project is feasible and has a chance of success.
Bluetooth, well-known for wireless communication, is already a common tool. The latest version increases the range but is typically associated with phones, wireless headphones, or keyboards and mice operating within several dozen feet.
Hubble Network plans to create a global satellite network that will connect with any Bluetooth device on Earth. Recently, the start-up launched two initial satellites into orbit, which are meant to serve as the foundation of this new infrastructure. Although the project initially met with skepticism, the company is demonstrating that their idea might indeed succeed.
Connecting to a satellite via Bluetooth
Hubble Network has become a pioneer in directly connecting Bluetooth with a satellite in space over a distance of about 373 miles.
Alex Haro, co-founder and CEO of Hubble Network, highlighted that successfully transmitting signals from Bluetooth chips and receiving them in space over a distance of 373 miles has unlocked new possibilities.
Are we facing a revolution?
This innovative project has the potential to revolutionize communication on Earth. According to the founders, this system will enable global connections using twenty times less energy, and operational costs will be reduced fiftyfold compared to current methods. Hubble Network emphasizes that the new technology is expected to replace existing IoT systems, which consume a lot of energy, are expensive to operate, and do not always offer global coverage.
Thanks to this technology, connecting with any Bluetooth device will be possible, as long as it receives a software update. Potential applications include logistics, smart collars for pets, GPS watches for children, vehicle inventory, and soil temperature monitoring, encompassing millions of devices worldwide.
