Brochure: KNOT Embedded LTE4
The KNOT Embedded LTE4 is a compact yet powerful industrial LTE gateway designed for system integrators, automation specialists, and IoT system builders. It fits into tight spaces, mounts directly onto a DIN rail, and offers reliable LTE Cat4 connectivity with Bluetooth and GNSS support.
Use it as a primary gateway, backup link, or IoT data collection node: everything is powered by RouterOS for maximum flexibility.
Sensor-ready GPIO header : for simple automation and monitoring (Digital input/Analog Input/OD output). All pins are 24V tolerant.
Powered by RouterOS: full network stack, VPN, firewall, SMS control and notifications, automation, remote management, and much more.
The device requires external antennas: choose the models suited to your environment and customize the KNOT to meet your specific needs.
