The newest member of the MikroTik IoT product family – KNOT – is a truly universal device with exceptional connectivity options.
It is an IoT gateway using Narrow Band and CAT-M technology. Because of the low-cost, low-bandwidth cellular connection, it is supported by countless cellular operators around the world.
MikroTik KNOT
It doesn’t matter if you have devices that are no longer in production, devices that came out this year, or even some custom solutions from your technician – the KNOT can help you integrate them all into a single system.
KNOT can monitor built-in GPIOs, convert the Modbus protocol to TCP and even forward Bluetooth packets to the TCP / IP network via HTTPS and MQTT. You can use the KNOT as a TCP bridge for wired Modbus sensors to send measured values to a Modbus server. It offers wireless connectivity for wired sensors and actuators such as electricity meters and relays.
KNOT connections and possible uses
It can be used as a backup connection for the Ethernet or as a management channel for your network. A monthly NB / CAT-M plan is much cheaper than LTE. So why spend extra money on bandwidth that you don’t need? For example, you can manage a KNOT-powered vending machine with temperature and humidity sensors with just a few megabytes per day!
KNOT bietet so viele Protokollunterstützungs- und Konnektivitätsoptionen: 2,4-GHz-WLAN, Bluetooth, 2x 100-Mbit / s-Ethernet-Ports mit PoE-In und PoE-Out, MicroUSB. Maximaler Komfort zu niedrigsten Kosten!
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!
