Enterprise IoT Edge-as-a-Service

IoT Gateways for Flexible Connectivity

Cascade gateways offer flexible connectivity and edge computing power in a secure and cost-effective package.

Packed with an ARM A7 Processor and Ubuntu Core OS for secure edge applications, Cascade gateways provide a wide range of connectivity options:

• Bluetooth 5 (nRF5240), with a PA & LNA for extended range
• Wi-Fi 2.4 & 5 GHz a/g/b
• Support for Zigbee, Thread & Wirepas Mesh
• Ethernet with PoE for easier installation
• USB for wired connectivity and expansion
• Worldwide Cellular LTE Cat-1 (option)

Gateways come in white or black, and can be custom-branded in larger quantities. We also offer outdoor enclosure options.

Cellular LTE is certified for both U.S. and international.

Extensible Edge Computing

The ability to run applications  – such as for data aggregation, device monitoring and lambda functions – is the cornerstone of an extensible edge architecture.

Our Cascade gateways feature an ARM A7 processor with 8GB of storage – allowing them to run multiple edge applications and store data for batch delivery to the cloud.

Gateways  run Ubuntu Core OS for secure, containerized edge computing – and work with our Edge Direct tools for update orchestration and monitoring.

They also include Edge Connect, a configurable data pipeline for aggregating, filtering and formatting  data from Bluetooth 5 and other wireless devices – saving IoT teams weeks or months of development time.

Cascade gateways are certified for AWS Greengrass and Azure IoT Edge for secure edge computing.

Secure Monitoring & Management Tools

The management of edge networks can be a challenge – especially with tens of thousands of deployed devices. And keeping gateways secure in the field, over years of operation, requires a robust and coordinated approach.

Rigado Cascade includes Edge Direct – a set of cloud-based  tools that make it easy for teams to deploy, update and administer their gateways, including the ability to:

• Monitor gateway health & performance, such as CPU, Memory and Storage
• Keep track of gateways, applications and locations using a flexible tagging system
• Set alerts for important events, such as a loss of network connectivity
• Update edge applications and data pipeline settings remotely
• Apply regular security patches provided by Rigado – keeping the Ubuntu Core gateways secure in the field

In addition to the web interface, all of the above features are available via a command-line interface for easy scripting , as well as an API for integration with existing monitoring and management tools.
