• Hubble's satellite network moves from early pilots to general availability, unlocking true global connectivity for any Bluetooth-enabled device

• More than 500,000 devices are now active on the Hubble Terrestrial Network, more than a 10x jump from last year

• Round is led by Smith Point Capital, with participation from Seraphim, Carthona Capital, Earthshot Ventures, and RPM Ventures, as new capital will be used to build out a 60-satellite constellation by 2030

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hubble Network, the world’s first satellite-powered Bluetooth^Ⓡ network, today announced the opening of its satellite network to the public, making it possible for any Bluetooth device to connect directly to orbit. The company also announced a $200 million Series C round led by Smith Point Capital, with participation from Seraphim, Carthona Capital, Earthshot Ventures, Y Combinator, and RPM Ventures, bringing Hubble’s total funding to $300 million and valuing the company at $1.6 billion.

“When we said we’d connect Bluetooth chips to satellites, most of the industry said the physics wouldn’t allow it,” said Alex Haro, CEO and co-founder of Hubble Network. “Today we’re turning that early skepticism into a global opportunity. Alongside our partners and investors who believe in our vision, we’re poised to take the next big leap toward a global satellite network that delivers affordable, low-power, ubiquitous connectivity for billions of devices.”

A New Era of IoT at Planetary Scale

Cellular networks reach about 15% of the Earth’s landmass. Tracking anything beyond that has required dedicated satellite hardware, $25 or more per device, leaving only the highest-valued assets worth tracking. The rest go untracked, and asset theft and loss cost the average mid-sized business $13 million per year. Hubble turns the Bluetooth LE radio already inside a device into a global beacon with a firmware update and no new hardware. For new designs, connectivity adds under 50 cents to the bill of materials, roughly 10x less than a cellular modem and 50x less than a satellite one.

Early satellite access was limited to a few pilot customers. Now any company on Hubble’s Terrestrial Network can extend to satellite coverage with a simple firmware update, and new customers can register an off-the-shelf development kit in the Hubble dashboard and see data flowing in minutes.

Samsara (NYSE: IOT), one of Hubble’s pilot customers, is working to bring its satellite network to real-world physical operations. “Our customers work on the frontlines in some of the most remote parts of the world, where reliable connectivity can be hard to come by,” said David Gal, VP of Product and Engineering, Connected Equipment at Samsara. “Hubble gives us a way to extend visibility beyond the reach of traditional networks without adding new hardware — helping operators stay connected to critical equipment wherever the job takes them.”

Hubble operates six satellites in low Earth orbit today and is on track to reach 60 by 2030. Its Terrestrial Network spans more than 100 million gateways across 170 countries and 3 million square miles of coverage. More than 500,000 devices are currently active on the network, more than 10 times the number a year ago.

“Until now, the cost and complexity of connectivity limited visibility to only the most valuable assets,” said Keith Block, Founder and CEO of Smith Point Capital. “Hubble Network has built the foundational infrastructure that the physical world is missing: a global network extending Bluetooth-to-satellite reach to provide comprehensive tracking and status monitoring for virtually any asset worldwide, and creating new business models for mission-critical verticals. Alex, Ben, and the team have the technical vision and operational focus to not only build an enduring, industry-leading business but to define a new global standard for how the physical world is connected, managed, and understood.”

The latest round follows Hubble’s $70M Series B raise in 2025. Over the last year, Hubble has formed partnerships with Texas Instruments to allow customers to transmit location and sensor data without gateways, GPS, or cellular, and with InPlay, which paired the sub-$1 chip with Hubble’s gateways to deliver item-level tracking at a cost that rivals passive RFID. Smart-label maker Reelables partnered with Hubble, connecting printable smart labels to the network to extend cargo visibility, and Hubble has signed its first customer contract with Muon Space for larger next-generation satellites on its MuSat XL platform.

Founded by Alex Haro, who took Life360 public, and Ben Wild, who invented and led product for Amazon Sidewalk, Hubble is focused on scaling the constellation toward continuous global coverage, while lowering the cost of connectivity to make it possible to track any item on Earth, not just expensive assets.

Key Terms

bluetooth le technical

Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) is a wireless communication standard designed to let small devices talk to each other using very little power, like a whisper instead of a shout. It matters to investors because it enables long-lasting batteries, cheaper and smaller gadgets, and wide deployment in wearables, sensors and smart-home products—factors that can drive sales, reduce costs, and expand markets for chipmakers, device makers and service providers.

bill of materials financial

A bill of materials is a detailed checklist that lists every part, raw material and subassembly needed to build a product, like a recipe listing ingredients and quantities for a dish. Investors use it to gauge how much it costs and how complex production is, because the items and quantities affect profit margins, supply‑chain risks and the company’s ability to scale or meet demand.

low earth orbit technical

Low Earth orbit (LEO) is the region of space close to Earth, roughly from about 160 to 2,000 kilometers above the surface, where satellites and spacecraft circle the planet quickly—think of it as a busy highway just overhead. It matters to investors because many communications, imaging and data services rely on satellites in LEO; their shorter lifespans, lower launch costs, crowded lanes and debris risks directly affect the cost, revenue potential and operational risks of companies that build, launch or use these satellites.

passive rfid technical

Passive RFID is a radio-frequency identification system that uses small tags without batteries; the tag harvests power from a nearby reader’s radio signal and sends back its stored ID or small data. Investors care because passive RFID is a low-cost, widely deployable way companies track inventory, shipments, and assets—like attaching a lightweight digital name tag that a scanner can read from a short distance—which can affect operating efficiency and supply-chain visibility.
