The Gateway co-locates with existing indoor wireless networks via Cellular, WiFi, or Ethernet, ensuring quick & easy deployment. This also allows existing wireless network security to be leveraged, extending end-to-end security with SSL/TLS tunneling from the access point to the Cloudleafs Cloud. Features The GW-1.5 Gateway utilizes a proven wireless technology standard (Bluetooth 5.1) to communicate with the downstream sensors, tags. It has four independent BLE radio subsystems, which create scalability, link redundancy, and spectral diversity. It can perform scans on all three BLE specifications-defined advertisement channels (37, 38, 39), ensuring all BLE devices present in its 150 feet coverage range are visible. The gateway supports native 128-bit AES encryptions for all communications to the end-
nodes as needed. The gateway is designed to provide visibility for thousands of end-
node devices, via a proprietary device management algorithm. The Gateway is designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, with the ability to withstand an extended operating temperature range from 0 C to 60 C. The Gateway can be wall- or ceiling-mounted. Figure 3: Cloudleaf Gateway Figure 4: Cloudleaf Gateway antenna Cloudleaf, Inc. 3 Ports & LEDs The Gateway has the following ports & LEDs exposed:

Cloudleaf, Inc. 4 Installation Installing a Gateway is easy and quick, and it can usually be completed within 30 minutes. This section provides the best practice guidelines to get the Gateway up and running. If you have any questions or require advanced setup, please contact Cloudleaf technical support at support@Cloudleaf.io. A Gateway needs to be powered by external source of power. There are few ways of powering Gateway. 1. A 5V DC port requiring wall powered 5V 2A source. Gateway ships with a 5V DC cable and a USB wall charger. 2. The micro USB port requiring a 5V 2A. 3. Power over Ethernet on the Ethernet port requiring 10W at a nominal 48V. There are 4 BLE radios. Each radio can be configured to have transmit power ranging from 0dBm. The Gateway needs access to the Internet to connect to the Cloudleafs cloud. It establishes a secure connection to the cloud using SSL (port 443), so please make sure this is supported in the LAN at the installation site. The Gateway can obtain network connection via Cellular, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB. When connected to Ethernet, the downstream port from the switch needs to provide direct Internet connectivity. When using Wi-Fi, the Gateway can support WPA2 or WEP security. Use Cloudleafs mobile app to provision the WIFI networks SSID and password. Power BLE Network Cloudleaf, Inc. 5 Mounting Best Practices The Cloudleaf Gateway should be installed with the following guidelines:
Each Gateway is designed to cover up to 70,000 square feet of indoor area. For best coverage and Bluetooth Low-Energy signal strength, space Gateways 200 to 250 ft. from one another. Install the Gateways at about 10 ft. above the ground to ensure good reception Avoid immediate metal structures next to the Gateway (e.g. metal beam on the ceiling), which can attenuate signal strength. The Gateway needs to be secured on a stable structure, with screws, bolts, zip ties, or strong adhesives (e.g. 3M VHB). Make sure the installation point does not have excess exposure to moisture or dust. Make sure the 3 mounting holes are protected against entry of contaminants. If Wi-Fi is used for backhaul, make sure the Gateway is within reasonable distance from the Wi-Fi access point (to get a stable connection to the network). The Gateway is designed to operate in the following conditions:
Operating Conditions Temperature: 0 to 60 C Humidity: 0 to 95% RH Cloudleaf, Inc. 6 FCC Statement Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with the class B FCC limits. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with the FCC and IC radiation exposure limits established for an uncontrolled environment. The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. Cloudleaf, Inc. 7 IC Statement This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformment la rglementation d'Industrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour l'metteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire lesrisques de brouillage radiolectrique l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayon e quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas l'intensit ncessaire l'tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autoris e aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. The device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter To comply with FCCs and Industry Canadas RF radiation exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure, this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons. L'appareil doit tre install et utilis avec une distance minimale de 20 cm entre le radiateu et votre corps. 8 Cloudleaf, Inc.
