DATASHEET ACCESS CONTROLLER ACCESS CONTROLLER End-to-End Security Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) is the industry’s most powerful enterprise Bluetooth network management solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. With the Cassia IoT AC, businesses have unprecedented access, control, and security over Bluetooth IoT environments. The Cassia IoT AC solution enables seamless deployment and management of hundreds of enterprise Bluetooth gateways and monitoring of thousands of connected end devices in an enterprise Bluetooth IoT environment from one easy-to-use interface. Communication from end devices to the Cassia Bluetooth gateway is encrypted. The Cassia IoT AC and the application server provide end-to-end security. OVERVIEW A lack of standardization and interoperability across protocols is a major impediment to the growth of the IoT market. To solve this issue, Cassia Networks developed enterprise Bluetooth IoT, which includes: remote management, Bluetooth’s longest range, and the highest number of reliable Bluetooth low power end device connections in the industry. This solves a fundamental barrier to IoT market entry: the high-cost and difficulty of deploying reliable large-scale IoT environments. With the Cassia IoT AC, businesses have unprecedented access, control, and security over Bluetooth IoT environments. The Cassia IoT AC enables easy deployment and management of hundreds of longrange Bluetooth gateways and monitoring of thousands of end devices in an enterprise environment from one centralized interface (see Figure 1 diagram). From office to the factory floor, from sports arenas to hospitals, Cassia’s Bluetooth IoT is changing many industries. Together, Cassia’s IoT AC and Bluetooth gateways deliver new enterprise Bluetooth IoT applications to new environments. Location Tracking The Cassia IoT AC, used with multiple Cassia Bluetooth gateways, tracks and reports the location of end devices – on people or assets - within its coverage area in real-time. Edge Computing Cassia Bluetooth edge gateways support 3rd party applications running inside a container (Linux Ubuntu OS). This reduces latency and cloud costs, supports customized control, and ensures better data management. The Cassia IoT AC centralizes the management of containers and applications on the Bluetooth edge gateways. Flexible Deployment and Easy Access Options for deploying the Cassia IoT AC include: an on-premise server, a private cloud, or in Cassia’s public cloud. Administration of the Cassia IoT AC is simple and easy, using a web browser on a PC or a tablet. Expandable Scalability Build a large or small Bluetooth wireless network as needed. The Cassia IoT AC is a flexible pay-as-you-grow design, making it easy to add more Bluetooth gateways as business requirements change. Bluetooth Roaming Bluetooth roaming occurs when a Bluetooth device switches its association to the Bluetooth gateway with a stronger Bluetooth signal when moving from the coverage area of one Bluetooth gateway to the next. Unlike Cellular and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth protocol has no inherent roaming support, and Bluetooth end devices can’t initiate a roaming handoff. Cassia invented fast and secure Bluetooth roaming technology to solve this problem without requiring changes to the Bluetooth protocol and/or end devices. Figure 1 - Cassia IoT Access Controller (AC) BENEFITS Reliable and Seamless Bluetooth Coverage Together, the Cassia IoT AC and Bluetooth gateways provide seamless Bluetooth IoT coverage for data collection and location tracking both indoor and outdoor without requiring any changes to the end devices. Centralized Management and Control The Cassia IoT AC’s centralized management and control includes: real-time Bluetooth gateway and end device monitoring, automatic Bluetooth gateway discovery, one-click firmware upgrades, end device locationing, and security policies.
