Unlocking a New Era of Low-Cost Satellite Connectivity Using Standard Bluetooth Chips
Nuremberg, Germany [March 9, 2026] – Today, Hubble Network, announced the first-ever direct-to-satellite connection using standard, commercially available Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. This breakthrough allows everyday wireless devices to transmit data globally from virtually anywhere on Earth to deliver fast, reliable, global connectivity, without specialized hardware or cellular infrastructure. The company will demonstrate the groundbreaking technology live at Embedded World 2026 taking place in Nuremberg, Germany on March 10–12, 2026.
Using Hubble Network’s proprietary protocol, standard Bluetooth® LE microcontrollers can transmit small packets of sensor and tracking data of up to 13 bytes per message directly to Hubble’s low Earth orbit satellite constellation. Developers can enable the capability through Hubble’s software development kit SDK, allowing devices to add satellite connectivity without cellular modems, SIM cards, or GPS modules.
“Until now, satellite IoT required expensive specialized hardware,” said Alex Haro, CEO and Co-Founder of Hubble Network. “We have eliminated that barrier. Any device built with a standard Bluetooth LE chip now has the potential to send data from anywhere on the planet.”
Key Benefits:
- Direct Satellite Connectivity: Bluetooth® LE chips send data directly to satellites from anywhere on Earth.
- Cost-Effective Design: One connectivity chip replaces multiple components, simplifying the BOM and reducing unit cost.
- Ultra-Low Power: Devices run for years on a single coin cell battery.
- Rapid Deployment: Preloaded firmware delivers satellite connectivity out of the box.
Hubble’s solution addresses key applications including asset and parcel tracking, stolen vehicle recovery, industrial equipment monitoring, supply chain visibility, and agricultural sensing, and is commercially available today. Contact hello@hubble.com to get started.
At Embedded World, Hubble will demonstrate mass-market Bluetooth® LE devices transmitting directly to satellites, extending connectivity beyond terrestrial networks. Conference attendees can see a live demonstration of the technology at the Nürnberg Exhibition Centre, Hall 3A, Booth 131.
