InPlay Expands Collaboration with Hubble Network for Global Smart Labels

InPlay Inc. has expanded its partnership with Hubble Network to introduce IN120-based smart labels and wireless sensors capable of global tracking through both terrestrial and satellite infrastructure, announced in a press release.

The collaboration builds on earlier work combining InPlay's NanoBeacon technology with Hubble's satellite-enabled Bluetooth network. The new IN120 platform adds patent-pending data logging that continuously records sensor data, enabling time-sequenced monitoring for applications such as cold chain logistics and asset tracking.

The IN120 features a minimalist design requiring only one external component, which reduces system complexity and manufacturing cost. It supports ultra-low power operation and can function with thin batteries or energy harvesting, allowing for maintenance-free deployments.

The joint solution provides hybrid connectivity through Hubble's network of over 95 million gateways and satellites, delivering continuous asset visibility without dedicated infrastructure or cellular service. Target applications include pharmaceutical monitoring, smart packaging, industrial condition monitoring, and remote asset management.
