Pre-configured nodes starting at $99; pre-configured gateways starting at $399.
We've timed it: retrieving data from a memory card takes 12 minutes.
Hublink nodes can upload at any rate you choose and typically last over a month on a single charge. Use the calculator below to see if you can save by using Hublink.

Hublink requires that you have ESP32-based nodes in order to communicate over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to gateways. This is made simple via the open-source Hublink Node Library for the Arduino IDE.
Hublink gateways are pre-configured Raspberry Pi devices that simply need a power outlet and internet connection. Your gateways will sync settings with your hublink.cloud Dashboard enabling remote management.
The Hublink Dashboard is the primary link between nodes, gateways, and cloud storage. We use Amazon S3 for long-term, persistent, reliable storage. This will always be your data.
All devices come pre-loaded with Hublink software. Nodes will rely on manual updates from the open-source repository, while gateways will automatically version themselves.
