X1000 and X2000
Cassia’s Bluetooth gateway coverage varies based on conditions. In outdoor “open-air”
locations with no obstructions, the coverage radius of Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways is greater
than indoor locations with walls and obstructions.
In general, the radius of outdoor coverage may vary from 100 meters to 400 meters with
Bluetooth 4.x or even to 1 kilometer with Bluetooth 5.0, depending on the wireless
interference, obstructions, and line of sight. A rule of thumb for deployment is to ensure
that the Bluetooth device has a consistent connection and that the Bluetooth signal strength
is strong.
Deployment principles:
Avoid installations near radio transmitters such as radio towers, cellular base stations,
and Wi-Fi access points (APs)
Pole or wall mounting is required
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or 12V DC (for X2000 only) is required
Installation height is recommended between 10 and 100 feet (3 and 30 meters)
Grounding cable and lightning protection is suggested, especially when X1000 and
X2000 are installed outdoors
Below is an example of X1000 outdoor line of sight deployment.
