What is a Cassia Gateway?
The Cassia Bluetooth Gateway is a long-range enterprise Bluetooth gateway that can be
used for indoor and outdoor environments. It extends the range of Bluetooth connectivity
up to 1 kilometer and enables remote control of up to 40 Bluetooth low energy devices
without requiring any changes to Bluetooth end devices.
The Cassia Bluetooth gateway acts as a protocol gateway, which translates between the
Bluetooth protocol and the Internet Protocol (IP) protocol. This enables your Bluetooth low
energy devices to be remotely accessible and controllable via an Internet application.
From firmware 1.3 onwards, Cassia provides container support for the Cassia Bluetooth
Gateway E1000, X1000, and X2000 where users can run custom applications.

Cassia X2000
Cassia launches the new X2000 Bluetooth gateway to deliver secure, long-range, multiple
device connectivity for enterprise-grade IoT applications. It is designed to further improve
the performance and reduce the complexity and cost of large-scale Industrial IoT
deployments. X2000 features Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 support, a ruggedized IP66
enclosure, integrated TPM chip, more power/Wi-Fi/antenna options, larger memory, and
various enhancements.
Cassia X2000 Bluetooth Gateway
The X2000 extends Bluetooth connectivity up to 400 meters for Bluetooth 4.x and 1
kilometer for Bluetooth 5.0 in open space using a patented filtering and smart antenna
array. Furthermore, the range extension does not require replacing existing Bluetooth Low
Energy end devices, nor is it dependent on Bluetooth Mesh. In bi-directional mode, the
X2000 can pair and connect up to 40 end devices. In broadcast/advertising mode, it can
listen to hundreds of end devices.
X2000 supports the full functionality of Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, including higher data
rates (2M PHY), advertising extensions, and long range. X2000 also offers flexible Bluetooth
