With the rapid development of the IoT (Internet of Things) industry, the global Bluetooth asset tracking market was valued at $5.8 billion in 2025, and is expected to maintain a robust CAGR of 18.2% through 2034. In such a large market, different stakeholders in a supply chain usually use fragmented BLE solutions according to specific needs. This leads to data incompatibility, which means the collected location data cannot flow smoothly, leaving end-to-end visibility nearly impossible.
To solve this industry-wide challenge, MOKOSMART, a leading IoT hardware manufacturer, has joined forces with Hubble Network, a pioneer in connecting Bluetooth devices to both distributed terrestrial and satellite-enabled networks. Together, the two companies are introducing an innovative tracking solution to knock down the information silos and unify tracking data onto a single cloud platform.
Traditionally, Bluetooth solutions rely heavily on fixed local gateways or cellular hubs to relay beacon data to the cloud. This infrastructure has proven to be costly and hard to install everywhere. In our joint solution, we leverage existing ambient networks or device-assisted relays to achieve broad coverage.
Flash Hubble Firmware: Before deployment, every MOKOSMART Bluetooth beacon is integrated with the Hubble Device SDK. This ensures these beacons are compatible with the Hubble ecosystem and seamlessly join in the network.
Detection via Nearby Smart Devices: Within the Hubble’s Terrestrial Network coverage area, any smart device can automatically detect nearby tagged assets via beacon signals without manual pairing.
Combined Data Transmission: Acting as a mobile relay, the smart device will transfer information to the Hubble Cloud platform. Such information usually contains beacon data as well as GPS signals of the smart device itself.
The core innovation lies in leveraging existing GPS-enabled smart devices to obtain tag locations. Transforming these prevalent smart devices into “free mobile gateways”, this integrated solution eliminates the need for a fixed cellular or Wi-Fi gateway, thereby bringing extensive coverage and flexible usage scenarios.
Take an asset tracking journey as an example. Within the entire supply chain, the in-transit phase could be a process with the highest physical risk and greatest management complexity. To better track every pallet and cargo box, Bluetooth tags are usually deployed. For pallet tracking, rugged M2 locator would be ideal while slim UT1 paper asset tag or N2 softfoam tag are great options for cargo boxes.
Inside warehouses or transit vehicles, standard Bluetooth systems could work well as cargo moves within fixed coverage areas. Nevertheless, during loading and unloading processes or mid-stage handovers, traditional fixed gateways or vehicle trackers are usually unavailable. This is where the Hubble solution plays a significant part. Nearby smart devices with Hubble connection automatically pick up signals of these tags and bridge the traditional data connectivity gap. After data transmission, relevant personnel have access to real-time location to prevent asset theft or loss. Not only does this solution eliminate fixed gateways, but it also maintains continuous visibility across all stages.
Break Down Data Silos: Operating as an open third-party distributed tracking system, this solution integrates data from all sides like suppliers, distributors, retailers or even third-party logistics into one single platform. Such integration allows all parties to operate on the same application, synchronize and update in real-time, minimizing the data integration complexity. Such network coverage ensures uninterrupted location data even when changing vendors, as long as the device firmware is Hubble-compatible.
Low Deployment Cost: Instead of deploying trackers or gateways at all covered areas, the solution uses nearby smart devices as network nodes to achieve a flexible network. Within this solution, businesses minimize the high costs associated with hardware purchase, deployment and further maintenance.
Minimum Blind Spots: Backed by a vast network of active Hubble-enabled smart devices, this solution could reach widespread connectivity with ease, even crossing continents. Under such a wide coverage network, assets could be tracked across complex environments, even at last-mile delivery endpoints where traditional cellular or Wi-Fi networks fail.
“In the supply chain, continuous end-to-end data flow acts as a core part in logistic efficiency,” said Jerry Li, co-founder at MOKOSMART. “By embedding Hubble’s firmware into our hardware, we are trying to provide location tracking anywhere for our clients at a lower infrastructure cost, without compromising on reliability or coverage.”
“MOKOSMART builds the hardware the industry already trusts, and Hubble gives it a network that reaches everywhere without a single fixed gateway,” said Alex Haro, co-founder and CEO at Hubble Network. “Together, we’re turning the devices already in people’s pockets into the connectivity layer for global supply chains.”
