In a world increasingly shaped by automation, real-time location data has become an indispensable tool for modern enterprises. From manufacturing and logistics to education and agriculture, the ability to track people and assets with precision is transforming how industries operate.
At the forefront of this transformation is Cassia Networks, a pioneer in Bluetooth® IoT infrastructure. Cassia’s patented long-range Bluetooth gateways and centralized IoT Access Controller (AC) are redefining what’s possible for enterprises seeking reliable, scalable, and secure tracking solutions.
Why Bluetooth Technology for Tracking?
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has emerged as the ideal technology for personnel and asset tracking. It offers:
- Low power consumption, ideal for battery-powered tags and wearables
- Low cost compared to RFID, Wi-Fi, and UWB solutions
- Ubiquity, with widespread support across mobile devices and sensors
- Open and interoperable architecture, enabling easy integration
BLE is now powering large-scale, enterprise-grade solutions—especially when paired with Cassia’s advanced gateway infrastructure.
The Cassia Advantage: Gateways Built for Scale
Cassia Networks’ Bluetooth gateways, including the M2000 and E1000 (for indoor environments) and X2000 (for both indoor and outdoor use), are engineered to overcome the typical range and density limitations of BLE.
M2000 Gateway Highlights
- 150+ meter range (line of sight)
- Up to 20 bidirectional connections to BLE devices simultaneously
- Ideal for situations requiring mobility, quick deployment, and suitable for a moving vehicle
E1000 Gateway Highlights
- 300+ meter range (line-of-sight)
- Supports up to 40 simultaneous BLE connections
- Ideal for factories, offices, and school buildings
X2000 Gateway Highlights
- Up to 1 km range with Bluetooth 5.0
- IP66-rated for harsh industrial environments
- Includes a TPM security chip and edge processing support
Both models integrate seamlessly with Cassia’s IoT Access Controller (AC), enabling centralized gateway management, remote configuration, and end-to-end encryption.
Real-World Applications: Innovation in Action
Cassia’s technology is already making a measurable impact across a diverse range of sectors:
- Industrial Environments – Cassia’s gateways have consistently delivered superior performance in demanding settings such as manufacturing plants, mining operations, and oil fields, where robust connectivity is essential.
- Medical Facilities – Cassia has deployed its gateways in hundreds of hospitals worldwide, enabling reliable tracking of critical medical equipment and assets.
- Smart Campuses – By enabling precise tracking of both assets and personnel, Cassia has enhanced safety and operational oversight across multiple campus environments.
- Supply Chain and Cargo Tracking – Cassia’s technology is used across various logistics operations, including warehouses, transportation hubs, and ocean shipping, improving visibility and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
The Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) – Most Powerful Bluetooth Network Management Solution for IoT
- End-to-end security, communication from end devices to the Cassia Bluetoothgateway is encrypted.
- Location tracking, tracks and reports the location of end devices – on people orassets – within its coverage area in real-time
- Edge computing, centralizes the management of containers and applications on the Bluetooth edge gateways.
- Flexible deployment, an on-premise server, a private cloud, or in Cassia’s public cloud
With patented technology and over 20 core innovations, Cassia enables enterprises to deploy BLE networks that behave more like Wi-Fi—while maintaining Bluetooth’s core advantages.
Seamless Integration and Scalable Deployment
Cassia gateways are designed to work with existing network infrastructure and operate securely even outside corporate firewalls. They offer flexible backhaul options (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB modem), RESTful APIs, and full compatibility with third-party sensors and applications.
Whether it’s for tracking vehicles in a yard, tools in a factory, or students on a school campus, Cassia makes Bluetooth IoT easy, scalable, and secure.
