Key Features

  • Add BLE 5.1 gateway capability to E300/E3000 routers with one module
  • Track assets and read sensors without separate gateway appliances
  • Manage the BLE layer through the router's existing NetCloud plane
  • Deploy branch IoT pilots by shipping one module, not new boxes
  • Reduce rack and power footprint at space-tight branches
  • Standardize BLE rollouts across the enterprise router estate
  • Extend the E3000 platform's role as branches add IoT workloads

About This Device

IoT keeps arriving over Bluetooth - asset tags, environmental sensors, occupancy beacons - and the BF-MC20-BT lets Cradlepoint's E300 and E3000 enterprise branch routers speak it natively: an MC20 expansion module adding Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 to the platform. BLE 5.1 brings the range and broadcast improvements of the 5.x generation to the branch, and mounting the radio in the router - rather than deploying separate BLE gateway boxes - keeps the new layer inside the infrastructure IT already manages through NetCloud: one chassis, one policy engine, one management plane, now with a BLE antenna on it. Every eliminated single-purpose gateway box is one less device to power, patch, and explain to the security team - consolidation into the router is the operational win. Install the MC20 module in the E300/E3000 expansion slot per the guide, bring it up in NetCloud, and configure the BLE applications your deployment uses. Survey beacon coverage from the router's location before scaling the sensor fleet. Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint BF-MC20-BT alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
