A humble Bluetooth device has successfully connected to a satellite in orbit | The signal spanned an astonishing 600 km
Hubble Network recently announced that it has achieved something many believed to be impossible: it established a Bluetooth connection directly to space, making it the first company...
"By demonstrating that we can send signals directly from Bluetooth chips and receive them in space from a distance of 600 km, we've opened up a new realm of possibilities," said Alex Haro, co-founder and CEO of Hubble Network.
