Certain industries such as healthcare, education and manufacturing often use Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and/or Wi-Fi devices for personnel and asset tracking applications depending on the use case. Oftentimes, these environments are equipped with thousands of beacons and/or tags that are deployed in the same location and/or in close proximity. However, the sheer number of…
Today’s Industrial IoT enterprises operating in hazardous environments not only need to safeguard their equipment, but they also need to protect their workers. A slight spark in an oil & gas field or chemical plant could trigger a fire or explosion resulting in damaged equipment and the environment or even worse, loss of life. As…
In certain environments, Wi-Fi connections can be unstable as a result of distance, traffic, and/or interference. To maximize Cassia’s gateway uptime and availability to the IoT Access Controller (AC), Cassia offers primary and secondary Wi-Fi connection SSID profile configuration settings. This allows the end-user to set up two Wi-Fi SSID profiles in a separate frequency…
The farming and agricultural industry has come a long way over the years. Many of its innovations rely heavily on technological advancements to help increase crop yields and improve farm operations. For example, tractors first emerged in the early 19th century and by 1966, John Deere became the first manufacturer to offer farmers a tractor…
Cassia Networks has developed a powerful network management tool, the IoT Access Controller to provide end-users and easy way to setup and manage thousands of gateways from a single dashboard. Furthermore, end-users have the ability to monitor thousands of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) end devices in an enterprise IoT environment from use easy to use…
Most of us are familiar with wireless roaming and how it works, but let’s cover some of the basics. Roaming occurs when a wireless client device moves outside of a range of one wireless access point (AP) and connects to another AP with a stronger signal. As long as the AP’s are correctly setup and…
What is a TPM and what does it do? TPM was originally created by a consortium called the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) in 2003 to enable trusted computing features in computers, mobile devices as well as network equipment. A TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a computer chip that can securely store artifacts used to…
