MikroTik's KNOT IoT Gateway offers a wide range of connectivity options and protocol support. It utilises Narrow Band and CAT-M technology to provide a low cost, low bandwidth cellular connection that can be supported by countless mobile operators around the globe.
The MikroTik KNOT can be used to monitor onboard GPIOs, convert Modbus protocol to TCP, and even forward Bluetooth packets to TCP/IP network via HTTPS and MQTT. You can even use the KNOT as a TCP bridge from wired Modbus sensors to send readings to a Modbus server, bringing wireless connectivity to wired sensors and actuators, such as electricity meters and relays.
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.
Use-Case Versatility
LoRaŽ operates in 902-928 MHz frequency (used in United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, many countries in Asia etc.)
The MikroTik 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.
