1. What is a Cassia Router?
Cassia Router is a long-range enterprise Bluetooth router that can be used in indoor and
outdoor environments. It extends the range of Bluetooth connectivity up to 1000 feet (305-
Meters) and enables remote control of up to 40 Bluetooth low energy devices without
requiring any changes to the Bluetooth end devices. Cassia Bluetooth router 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 accessible, and
controllable, remotely via an Internet application.
1.1. Cassia X1000
The Cassia X1000 enterprise Bluetooth router has an IP65-rated enclosure, which is fully
weather proof, and may be deployed in both indoor and outdoor environments. The X1000
may be attached to a pole or wall (a mounting kit is included) or placed on surface like a
desk or counter space. It receives power from Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) via the uplink
Ethernet port.
Figure 1: Cassia X1000 Bluetooth Router
The X1000 has a built-in smart antenna array designed specifically for Bluetooth. It also
supports Ethernet, 2.4 GHz WIFI or 3G/4G cellular dongle as IP backhaul. The X1000 is
capable of extending Bluetooth’s range up to 1000 feet (305 Meter). The X1000 increases
the number of devices that can be simultaneously paired and connected to 22 Bluetooth
low energy devices or listens to potentially hundreds of devices at the same time when
operating in broadcast mode.

1.2. Cassia E1000
The Cassia E1000 is an enterprise Bluetooth router with edge computing capability,
designed for deployments in industrial, hospitals, senior centers, schools, gyms, and other
indoor locations. The Cassia E1000 can be attached to the ceiling or wall (a mounting kit is
included) or may be placed on a desktop or counter space. The E1000 is powered via a
Micro-USB adapter or from a switch using Power over Ethernet (PoE) via the uplink Ethernet
port.

The E1000 increases the number of devices that can be paired and controlled to up to 40
Bluetooth low energy devices. In broadcast mode the E1000 can listen to several hundred
Bluetooth low energy end devices. Its patented smart antenna is optimized for horizontal use.
It supports Ethernet, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Wi-Fi, or 3G/4G cellular dongle as an IP backhaul. This
enables your Bluetooth low energy devices to be accessible, and controllable, remotely via an
Internet application.

3. Deployment
3.1. X1000
Cassia Bluetooth router coverage varies based on conditions. In outdoor “open air” locations
with no obstructions, the coverage radius of Cassia Bluetooth routers is greater than that of
indoor locations with walls and obstructions.
In general, the radius of outdoor coverage may vary from 100-300 meters, depending on the
wireless interference, obstructions, and line of sight. A rule of thumb for deployment is to
ensure that the Bluetooth device can be connected consistently and the Bluetooth signal
strength is strong.
Deployment principles:
•Poles or walls are required
•Power over Ethernet (PoE) is required
▪Installation height is better be between 3 to 30 meters

10 Cassia Networks Copyright 2018
•Install at locations away from radio transmitters, such as radio towers and cellular
base stations
•Ground cable and lightning protection is required
