Hubble BLE finding network launches

Hubble launched something long envisioned: a global BLE finding network that provides enterprises with the same capabilities that Apple’s Find My, Google’s Find My Device, and Samsung’s SmartThings Find offered to consumers. However, unlike those consumer-focused networks, the Hubble BLE Finding Network was built specifically for businesses, with full control, zero infrastructure, and global scale integrated from the start.

Introducing the Hubble BLE finding network

Alongside the network, Hubble also launched hubble.com. Developers and enterprises looking to integrate BLE into products or operations can now join a waitlist for immediate access to the network. Consumer networks demonstrated the power of BLE for tracking and discovery, but were not designed for enterprise use. They operate as closed ecosystems, restrict access to data, and impose proprietary rules. Hubble reversed this model.

The Hubble BLE Finding Network offers:

• Global Coverage: Live across more than 88 million passive scanners, phones, gateways, and infrastructure already deployed in homes, cities, highways, warehouses, and beyond.
• Zero Infrastructure: No need for additional hardware or installation. Updating a BLE advertisement format is sufficient to go live within minutes.
• Full Ownership: Enterprises retain full control over devices, data, APIs, and analytics.
• Secure by Design: Features include rotating IDs, encrypted payloads, and verified endpoints, all designed for enterprise-grade security.
• Open SDKs & APIs: Designed for developers, with no proprietary lock-in.
   

This BLE finding network is designed for real-world enterprise scenarios, including:

• Asset Tracking - For pallets, tools, containers, and equipment.
• Fleet Management - Real-time awareness of contents within vehicles or trailers.
• Cold Chain Monitoring - Combining BLE sensors with location telemetry.
• Workplace Safety - Tracking badges or wearables in hazardous environments.
• Equipment Sharing - Supporting shared access, usage analytics, and location history across multiple sites.
   

These applications represent only the beginning of what the platform can support. The network is live, and Hubble is now onboarding early developers and customers. Documentation, architectural overviews, and waitlist access are available on their website. Those ready to build can expect quick access and onboarding. Several Fortune 500 companies are already using the platform to track assets at scale without deploying new infrastructure. The same capabilities are now being extended to others.

In March 2024, Hubble became the first organization to connect a Bluetooth device directly to a satellite, marking a major breakthrough. The company’s vision is clear: to connect billions of Bluetooth devices across the entire planet, even in remote or disconnected areas. The launch of the BLE Finding Network marks a major step toward achieving that goal. Developers, partners, and others interested in the initiative are encouraged to visit hubble.com and join the network. For those interested in building with Hubble, early access to the DevKit is available by joining the waitlist.
