Key Hubble Advantage
Measure Battery Life in Months
Skip the power budget of cellular and GPS. Hubble uses Bluetooth® Low Energy sightings so trackers can run for months or years on small batteries.
No Cellular Needed
No GPS Needed
Global Coverage
Key Hubble Advantage
Leverages a distributed system of local gateways to provide fast, cost-efficient coverage across cities, highways, and job sites.
For Uninterrupted Coverage Everywhere on Earth
Connects devices directly to space, delivering visibility across remote, rural, and off-grid regions where traditional networks fall short.
Solutions powered by the Hubble BLE Network
Purpose-built for industries that rely on real-time location and condition visibility.
A side-by-side look at cost, power, coverage, and hardware requirements.
How Hubble Stacks Up to Alternatives
Hubble vs. Traditional Satellite
Traditional satellite needs specialized radios and antennas. Hubble uses the Bluetooth® chip already in your device and adds satellite as an optional path—no custom RF redesign.
Hubble vs. Cellular
Cellular adds modems, SIMs, and recurring data plans. Hubble connects over Bluetooth® sightings so you avoid modem BOM cost and keep devices simpler to certify.
Hubble vs. LoRa
LoRa needs dedicated gateways and spectrum planning. Hubble rides existing Bluetooth® scanning infrastructure, so you can start without building a private network.
Hubble vs. RFID
RFID is powerful at chokepoints but needs readers on site. Hubble provides presence and telemetry beyond the dock door using ambient Bluetooth® coverage.
Hubble vs. Globalstar
Globalstar-class links are built for satellite-first devices. Hubble starts on the live Terrestrial Network and extends to satellite without changing your Bluetooth® hardware.
Hubble vs. Iridium
Iridium suits high-reliability satellite terminals. Hubble targets ultra-low-power Bluetooth® trackers where cost and battery life matter as much as remote reach.
