The result is a radio signal that can be detected around 1,000 kilometers away — or almost 10 orders of magnitude longer than what can be detected from a Bluetooth chip over terrestrial networks.
Here is an interesting project. These people want to connect a billion existing (and new) Bluetooth devices to satellites! They plan to launch their first 4 satellites (via SpaceX, of course).
Seems like a stretch but they think it could work.
The company’s aim is to build out a constellation of 300 satellites that can provide real-time updates for any sensor or device outfitted with a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) chip. On its website, Hubble proposes use cases that span industries — from child safety to pallet tracking to environmental monitoring. The startup’s ultimate goal is to connect over a billion devices on its network.
