1. Whatis a CassiaGateway?
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.
1.1. CassiaX2000
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

configuration and two state-of-the-art Bluetooth modes: pure scan and high speed multiple
connection modes. Pure scan offers the best scan performance in high noise floor and
situations with a large number of Bluetooth devices. High speed multiple connection mode
optimizes the connection performance when receiving data from multiple Bluetooth
devices simultaneously.
X2000 supports edge computing, which can improve response time, reduce the cost of data
transmission & cloud service, improve reliability, security, and scalability. X2000 can run
large custom applications in its Ubuntu container. The container and APP can use up to 700
MB memory in X2000, which is much larger than X1000 & E1000 (128 MB).
X2000 has a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip embedded. It can support secure boot,
trusted boot, secure storage, and other crypto-chip-based security functions. TPM can
further enhance X2000’s security level.
Cassia’s X2000 can be used as a protocol gateway, which translates between Bluetooth
protocol and IP protocol. The X2000 Internet Protocol (IP) backhaul options include
Ethernet, 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, and USB cellular modem. As a result, Bluetooth end devices
are remotely accessible and controllable via an Internet application.
X2000 has eight LEDs, including Bluetooth Low Energy, AC, 4G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, system, and
power. They are very useful during gateway installation and troubleshooting. Please check
Appendix F for more information.
X2000 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a 12V DC power source. It can easily attach
to a pole or wall with an included mounting kit or can be placed on a flat space with an
optional desktop stand kit.
X2000 has passed below environmental tests. It can be used both indoor and outdoor.

3. Mount the X2000 mounting bracket in a vertical orientation onto a wall or pole with
the supplied mounting kit
NOTE: The side of the mounting bracket facing the wall and pole is sharp. Please don’t
hurt your hands.
4. Slide X2000 down on the X2000 mounting bracket
5. Connect Ethernet cable and PoE
Remove the ETH/PoE plug (M22X1.5. Please don’t mix with the USB hole plug), pass
the Ethernet cable through the cable gland, insert the RJ-45 connector into the
Ethernet port of X2000, and tighten the cable gland in the order of a, b, c. The torque
of step c should be less than the torque of step a.
NOTE: When removing the cable gland, please follow the order of c, b, a. Otherwise
X2000 will be damaged.

2.2. X1000
Hardware
Cassia X1000 Gateway
Power-over-Ethernet (POE) 802.3af/at compliant source, or PoE injector if PoE network
is not available. The Cassia X1000 is only powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
CAT5 Ethernet cable with standard RJ45 connector (Patch cord): 1 unit if PoE available,
or 2 units if used with PoE injector. The user can choose an Ethernet cable with an L
connector on one side to avoid stress when installing the bottom cap.
Computer System (Desktop/Laptop/Tablet/Smart Phone) with Wi-Fi connectivity
USB cellular modem: Required only if set up over a SIM-based Internet connection
Included in Package

16

Version: EN-2023039-YJ
Mounting
1. Mount the X1000 mounting bracket in a vertical orientation onto a wall or pole with
the supplied mounting kit;
2. Connect the X1000 to Ethernet cable and ground cable;
Grounding is suggested, especially when X1000 is installed outdoors.
3. Install silicon plugs (please skip this step if the ground cable is installed);

17
Copyright 2023 Cassia Networks, Inc.
Version: EN-2023039-YJ
If the user wants to ground the gateway, there are many different types of cable
diameters and cable hardness levels. When a grounding cable and Ethernet cable are
used together, the resulting thickness might prevent silicone plug from sealing 100%.
When the silicon plugs are installed, the X1000 will be IP65. When the silicone plugs
are not installed, the IP level of X1000 will be IP33. In this case, the three rainwater
holes at the bottom of X1000 will avoid rainwater to stay in X1000, the user can seal
up space with putty or silicone gel to ensure IP65.
4. Slide X1000 down on wall or pole mount;
5. Connect the X1000 Gateway to the PoE injector or a PoE switch.
