You can do firmware updates on bluetooth chipsets, say for example Silicon Labs EFR32, to have a custom 2.4 ghz protocol. Wirepas is an example of a proprietary protocol that runs on 802.15.4 SoCs.

You've interpreted their hand wavey marketing statement far too literally. Of course a plain vanilla bluetooth hardware + software stack won't be able to communicate with a satellite. They are saying that you can run their protocol on standard bluetooth chipsets for people who are designing NEW products. Loading a custom protocol onto an already certified product would nullify its certification. Why do we have to mention this here ?
