MikroTik KNOT - IoT Gateway for the most versatile and cost-effective setups!
The newest
addition to the MikroTik IoT product family – KNOT – is a truly universal
device with exceptional connectivity options and protocol support. It is an IoT
Gateway that uses Narrow Band and CAT-M technology. Because of the low cost,
low bandwidth cellular connection, it is supported by countless mobile
operators around the globe.
KNOT can monitor onboard GPIOs, convert Modbus protocol to TCP, and even forward Bluetooth packets to TCP/IP network via HTTPS and MQTT.
You can use
the KNOT as a TCP bridge from wired Modbus sensors to send readings to a Modbus
server. Yes, the KNOT brings wireless connectivity to wired sensors, such as
electricity meters and relays.
It could be used as a backup connection for the Ethernet or as a management channel for your network. NB/CAT-M monthly plan is much cheaper than LTE. Why spend extra money on bandwidth you don’t need? For example, you can manage a KNOT-powered vending machine with temperature and liquid sensors with only a few megabytes per day!
KNOT
features so many protocol support and connectivity options:
2.4 GHz
wireless, Bluetooth, 2x 100 Mbps Ethernet ports with PoE-in and PoE-out,
Micro-USB. Maximum convenience at the lowest cost!
With the
Bluetooth interface, you can use the KNOT for asset tracking and telemetry
based on Bluetooth advertisement packets. KNOT supports any BLE tag that sends
advertisement data. iBeacon, Eddystone or any other format.
It has
powerful filters for forwarding only relevant packets and ignoring others.
KNOT is a
great tool for most outdoor cabinet IoT applications as well. It comes with a
DIN rail mount that allows easy integration with all kinds of setups: from
agriculture and asset tracking to cold chain monitoring, industrial
manufacturing, and so on.
Bring flexible low-cost connectivity to the most remote or tricky areas with the MikroTik KNOT!
