What happened

(Hubble Network illustration) Seattle-based Hubble Network has reached a $1.6 billion valuation after raising $200 million in new funding to power its satellite-based Bluetooth connectivity network. The company says its hybrid network — which blends ground-based tracking with satellite coverage — is live for pilot customers today, including software firm Samsara, with data speeds and update frequencies set to increase as more spacecraft launch.

The fresh capital propels the Seattle startup into unicorn territory as it works to connect billions of everyday, off-the-shelf devices directly to space. Hubble currently operates six satellites in low-Earth orbit and plans to expand to a full 60-satellite constellation built with satellite operator Muon Space by 2030.

The company has no connection to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The company, which employs about 70 people, is No.
