KNOT LR8/LR9 kit
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!
How would all this work in real life? Well, let’s imagine a hospital. Lots of expensive assets moving
across huge buildings. Tools, equipment, meds, you name it. Everything gets moved around all the
time. Usually, hospitals have to spend a lot of resources on inventory checking.
Let’s fix that. Place low-cost Bluetooth tags on all the important items. Add a KNOT device in every
storage room. Now the hospital management always knows if the equipment is returned to its
place. Why stop there? You can add temperature sensors to medical supplies and use the KNOT
to keep track. The possibilities are endless.
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.
This kit can even help you in the most unusual situations. Remember the part about onboard
GPIOs? Those pins can be used to read all kinds of analog sensors, interact with a single-board
computer or other custom electronics – hobbyist kits, D.I.Y. robotics... It’s like getting the whole
Swiss Army instead of a Swiss Army knife!
