A #Seattle startup called #Hubble Network (no relation to NASA's Hubble) is unveiling a system that uses low-power #Bluetooth chips and #satellites in low Earth orbit to keep track of devices around the globe. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/hubble-network-launches-satellite-bluetooth-tracking/ #Space #Tech

@alanboyle "Hubble." Really? Low orbit satellite system called Hubble. They couldn't think of anything else? That's like creating a new drink and calling it Coke-a-Bubbly.
@Nead Yes, I wonder whether there’ll eventually need to be a rebranding. I vote for “Spacetooth.”
@alanboyle 'Spacetooth' a brand AND a mini-series. Good thinking. Have your people call my person.
@alanboyle Devices tracking devices so we know where devices are and now I can't see the Big Dipper anymore.
@alanboyle Me right now, double checking that my bluetooth is off.
@alanboyle oh cool because I was just thinking this morning that not enough people or things already know my location down to the millimetre 24 hours a day
