Hubble Network developer documentation: integrate Bluetooth devices with terrestrial and satellite connectivity.

Introduction

Use this site to integrate and scale with Hubble Network.

Chip Compatibility​

Any Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capable system on a chip (SoC) or microcontroller unit (MCU) is compatible with Hubble's Terrestrial Network, running Zephyr RTOS (real-time operating system), FreeRTOS, ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) or bare metal. Satellite Network requires one of our supported SoCs.

Connect Your First Device​

Sign up for a Hubble account and provision a supported developer kit in minutes using Dash Quick Start.

Terrestrial Network
Flash a developer kit with an image beaconing on Terrestrial Network using a one-line command. Then download the Hubble Connect mobile app to convert your phone into a Hubble scanning gateway for closed-loop validation in your sandbox.
Go to Dash Quick Start
Satellite Network
Qualify your hardware, build a transmitting sample, validate locally with a Pluto SDR, and confirm cloud reception via satellite pass.

Going further? Where you go next depends on what you're building:

  • Piloting Hubble for your organization? Run through the Pilot Framework — a four-phase process for validating coverage, device connectivity, real-world network performance, and backend integration before ramping up in production.
  • Building custom hardware or firmware? Browse Reference Applications as a starting point for your own application, and connect your proprietary hardware to Hubble Network.

Device SDK​

Connect any device that uses a commercial off-the-shelf BLE chip to Terrestrial Network with a simple change to your application firmware.

Cloud API​

Register your devices on Hubble Network and access packet data transmitted by the network via webhook or API request.
