 Cascade 500 IoT gateway is a hardware offering from Rigado that's part of their Cascade Edge-as-a-Service solution. It provides commercial IoT project and product teams with flexible edge computing power, a robust containerized application environment, and a wide variety of wireless device connectivity options such as Bluetooth 5, LTE, and Wi-Fi.
 
-Cascade 500 is certified for Azure IoT Plug and Play and enables you to easily onboard the device into your end-to-end solutions. The Cascade gateway lets you wirelessly connect to various condition monitoring sensors that are in close proximity to the gateway device. You can use the gateway device to onboard these sensors into IoT Central.

-You can choose a device to use from the [Azure Certified for IoT device catalog](https://devicecatalog.azure.com). You can implement your own embedded code using the open-source [device SDKs](./iot-sdks.md). The device SDKs support multiple operating systems, such as Linux, Windows, and real-time operating systems. There are SDKs for multiple programming languages, such as [C](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-c), [Node.js](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-node), [Java](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-java), [.NET](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-csharp), and [Python](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-python).

 You can further simplify how you create the embedded code for your devices by following the [IoT Plug and Play](../iot/overview-iot-plug-and-play.md) conventions. IoT Plug and Play enables solution developers to integrate devices with their solutions without writing any embedded code. At the core of IoT Plug and Play, is a _device capability model_ schema that describes device capabilities. Use the device capability model to configure a cloud-based solution such as an IoT Central application.
