Cassia Networks, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise Bluetooth IoT products and solutions, has officially announced the launch of its latest product in the new M2000 Compact Cellular Bluetooth Gateway, which happens to be a bleeding-edge device capable of offering superior performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. More on the same would reveal how the device in question is a compact, user-friendly Cellular Bluetooth gateway that features embedded 4G cellular module, while simultaneously delivering at your disposal superior Bluetooth performance. Furthermore, it allows customers to seamlessly access enterprise-grade security and the scalability which is necessary to deploy IoT projects in the most secure and cost-effective manner. Quite similar to any other Cassia enterprise Bluetooth gateways, the M2000 also supports Bluetooth roaming and locationing. Markedly enough, though, the new device, along with Cassia’s comprehensive suite of Bluetooth gateways, can be managed by Cassia’s IoT Access Controller (AC), the industry’s most robust enterprise Bluetooth network management solution. Hence, compatible with the company’s other enterprise Bluetooth gateways, such as the E1000 and X2000, the M2000 even makes it possible for you to access support of a 4G backhaul, GPS, and DC 9-36V. All in all, these features go a long distance to preach the new device as an ideal tool for situations that require mobility, rapid deployment, and use in moving vehicles.
“The M2000 gateway seamlessly integrates the advantages of Bluetooth connectivity with cellular backhaul, all in a compact and user-friendly design that is cost-effective,” said Felix Zhao, CEO of Cassia Networks. “We’re thrilled to introduce the M2000 to our customers, empowering them to achieve the scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency required for their IoT projects to thrive in Digital Health, Asset Tracking, Industrial IoT, Smart Building, and many other applications.”
Taking an even deeper view of the M2000, it has a communication range of up to 150 meters with a Bluetooth 4.x device in an open space line of sight. This can be further extended further through a Bluetooth 5.0 device. Next up, we must dig into its capacity, which is good enough to hold a maximum of around 10 simultaneous bi-directional connections with Bluetooth low energy devices. Alongside the stated capacity, this new device also has the ability to scan hundreds of Bluetooth devices and deliver the required support for Cassia’s PureScan™ Mode. Such ability, like one might guess, helps it big time when the agenda is to ensure optimal scan performance across high-noise environments where numerous Bluetooth devices are operating at the same time. Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in the technology’s embedded 4G Cellular (CAT-M / NB-IoT) backhaul support, as well as in its support for Wi-Fi backhaul, hotspot, and GPS functionality. In case that wasn’t quite enough, then we must also mention how the brand-new M2000 is fully compliant with certifications including FCC, IC, CE, TELEC, JATE, RoHS, REACH, CB, and BQB.
Keeping in mind all its capabilities, Cassia’s new device is currently ready to be utilized across a range of industries and applications, including for continuous vital sign monitoring in hospitals, telehealth, industrial IoT, smart buildings, smart campuses, supply chain management, as well as personnel and asset tracking, both in buildings and in vehicles.
“With Cassia’s X1000 Bluetooth gateway and IoT Access Controller, SX3 provides our customers a flexible and scalable solution for monitoring the condition of assets resulting in reduced downtime and greater cost savings. Cassia has been instrumental in the success of SX3 and the SX3 Enterprise lloT platform. They have been very supportive and collaborative in upgrading and making enhancements to their long-range gateway device, to meet the needs of the SX3 and that of our customers,” said Todd Kemp, President CEO of SpaceSense Corporation
