Link Labs Extends Bluetooth LE Tag Reporting With Hubble Network
Link Labs partnered with Hubble Network to extend how Bluetooth LE tags report asset location and sensor data beyond Link Labs-enabled onsite locations and a SuperTag Hub. The change adds detection across transit and field movement for organizations using the AirFinder tracking platform.
Hubble Network’s global gateway network of more than 90 million terrestrial gateways detects Link Labs tags in transit, between sites, and in the field. The data collected through Hubble feeds directly into the AirFinder platform to provide a single view across on-site and off-site assets.
In Link Labs’ setup, the AirFinder platform tracks assets using a local hub approach. The SuperTag device detects nearby Bluetooth LE tags and reports their location and sensor data back to AirFinder. With the Hubble partnership, that same detection extends beyond facility walls as tags move away from onsite coverage.
Link Labs’ CEO Jennifer Halstead said, “Enterprises increasingly need asset visibility that doesn't stop at the facility door,” adding, “With Hubble's global gateway network, our customers track assets from warehouse to job site to transit with no changes to their existing tags or workflows.” Extended connectivity through Hubble’s network was described as available to Link Labs customers today.
