KNOT
IoT Gateway for the most versatile
and cost-e7ective 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 and actuators, 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 moisture 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.
Comes with a DIN rail mount! Suitable for mounting in outdoor cabinets and enclosures.
Connection to a remote network
Proximity-based asset tracking
Telemetry – Sensor reading
RS485 Modbus to TCP/IP bridge
Monitor GPIO
Wiliot tag support
KNOT supports Wiliot Battery-Free (energy harvesting) Bluetooth Tags for
short-range (1-3m) disposable tracking tags (stickers) which can be attached
to virtually everything
and helps monitor the contents of a specific cabinet, refrigerator or shelf for
retail, medical or warehouse applications.
