What Hubble Network does

Hubble Network runs a satellite-powered Bluetooth network that lets standard Bluetooth devices send data globally without cellular modems.[1] The company is based in Seattle.[1] Its technology turns the Bluetooth Low Energy radio already inside a device into a global beacon through a firmware update, with no new hardware.[1] For new designs, Hubble says connectivity adds under 50 cents to the bill of materials.[1] Hubble operates six satellites in low Earth orbit and plans to reach 60 by 2030.[1] Its terrestrial network spans more than 100 million gateways across 170 countries, with more than 500,000 devices active, over ten times the number a year earlier.[1] In September 2026 it opened its satellite network to the public after an early pilot period.[1] The new capital will fund a 60-satellite constellation by 2030.[1]

Business model and customers

Fleet-software company Samsara was one of its pilot customers.[1] A partnership with Texas Instruments lets customers send location and sensor data without gateways, GPS or cellular.[1] Hubble has signed its first customer contract with Muon Space for larger next-generation satellites.[1]

Leadership

  • It was founded by CEO Alex Haro, who took Life360 public, and Ben Wild, who invented and led product for Amazon Sidewalk.[1]

Hubble Network profile

written 2026-10-24

Hubble Network, a satellite-powered Bluetooth network, raised a $200 million Series C at a $1.6 billion valuation in September 2026.

What Hubble Network does

Hubble Network describes itself as the world's first satellite-powered Bluetooth network. According to its September 23, 2026 release, Hubble overlays a terrestrial footprint with a proprietary satellite constellation so that standard Bluetooth devices can transmit data globally without cellular modems or complex infrastructure.[1]

Hubble Network turns the Bluetooth LE radio already inside a device into a global beacon with a firmware update and no new hardware. For new designs, the company says connectivity adds under 50 cents to the bill of materials, roughly 10x less than a cellular modem and 50x less than a satellite one.[1]

Hubble Network carries low-bandwidth data from any device with a Bluetooth chip over two networks, a Terrestrial Network and a Satellite Network, according to its website. The site lists stolen vehicle recovery, asset tracking and shipping and logistics among its solutions, and says the networks deliver real-time location and sensor data across supply chains, fleets and facilities.[2]

Hubble Network offers developers a free Hubble Sandbox, a testing environment that uses the Hubble Connect mobile app as a gateway. When developers are ready to scale, the site says they can upgrade to Hubble Live for global coverage on the Terrestrial and Satellite Network. The company also publishes an open SDK on GitHub.[2]

History

Hubble Network opened its satellite network to the public on September 23, 2026, according to a Business Wire release. Early satellite access had been limited to a few pilot customers. The company said any customer already on its Terrestrial Network can now extend to satellite coverage with a firmware update, and new customers can register an off-the-shelf development kit in the Hubble dashboard.[1]

Hubble Network CEO and co-founder Alex Haro said in the release, "When we said we'd connect Bluetooth chips to satellites, most of the industry said the physics wouldn't allow it." The company's website says it created the world's first-ever Bluetooth connection to space.[1],[2]

Hubble Network operates six satellites in low Earth orbit and is on track to reach 60 by 2030, the release says. Its website says the six satellites in orbit hear at 20 dBm, and that next-generation satellites launching in 2027 will hear at 4 dBm and provide location.[1],[2]

Hubble Network's Terrestrial Network spans more than 100 million gateways across 170 countries and 3 million square miles of coverage, according to the release. More than 500,000 devices were active on it in September 2026, more than 10 times the number a year earlier. The website separately lists the network as live in about 2,500 or more cities.[1],[2]

Funding

Hubble Network announced a $200 million Series C on September 23, 2026, led by Smith Point Capital at a $1.6 billion valuation. Seraphim, Carthona Capital, Earthshot Ventures, Y Combinator and RPM Ventures took part. The company said the round brings its total funding to $300 million.[1]

Hubble Network raised a $70M Series B in 2025, according to the same release. The release does not name the Series B lead.[1]

Hubble Network said the new capital will be used to build out a 60-satellite constellation by 2030.[1]

Hubble Network was described by Smith Point Capital founder and CEO Keith Block as having built "the foundational infrastructure that the physical world is missing." The release gives no revenue figure for Hubble.[1]

Customers and partners

Hubble Network counts Samsara (NYSE: IOT) as one of its pilot customers. David Gal, Samsara's VP of Product and Engineering, Connected Equipment, said in the release that Hubble gives Samsara a way to extend visibility beyond the reach of traditional networks without adding new hardware.[1]

Hubble Network has formed a partnership with Texas Instruments to let customers transmit location and sensor data without gateways, GPS or cellular. It also works with InPlay, which paired its sub-$1 chip with Hubble's gateways to deliver item-level tracking at a cost that rivals passive RFID.[1]

Hubble Network has smart-label maker Reelables as a partner, connecting printable smart labels to the network to extend cargo visibility. Hubble has also signed its first customer contract with Muon Space for larger next-generation satellites on its MuSat XL platform.[1]

People

Hubble Network was co-founded by Ben Wild, who invented and led product for Amazon Sidewalk, according to the release. The release does not state his current title at Hubble.[1]
