MikroTik KNOT LR8G kit, LoRa Gateway, CAT-M/NB, Bluetooth, GPS, 2x LAN, 1x SIM, microUSB, 2.4 GHz b/g/n, L4

Industrial IoT gateway for smart asset tracking, remote monitoring and efficient automation – now with improved LoRa reception, concurrent GPS + LTE CAT-M and a lower price.

The KNOT LR8G is a compact, plug-and-play gateway for LoRa 868 MHz networks with improved reception sensitivity. It supports LTE CAT-M1 and NB2 cellular connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2 , Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz , GPS , and Ethernet with PoE , making it a flexible central element for any IoT deployment.

The device enables simultaneous GPS and LTE CAT-M operation for accurate tracking of moving objects while maintaining a live connection. With low power consumption of only 6W and compact dimensions of 122 x 87 x 26mm, it is ideal for deployments where space, power and budget are limited, but performance cannot be compromised.

Asset tracking in hospitals
Connect Bluetooth beacons to critical medical equipment. Install KNOT LR8G in every storage area. When the device moves, KNOT detects nearby tags, tracks the location using GPS, and sends updates over LTE CAT-M.

Cold chain monitoring
Use wired Modbus sensors to monitor temperature and humidity inside refrigerated containers. KNOT p.It converts Modbus to TCP and securely forwards data via MQTT or HTTPS using low-speed LTE or NB-IoT.

Agriculture and remote locations
Deploy KNOT to collect data from soil or weather sensors in remote areas. With broad band support, LoRa reception, and GPS compatibility, it is ideal for long-term data collection with low power consumption.

Industrial automation
Connect legacy wired sensors and actuators to the cloud. With DIN rail mounting support and GPIO monitoring, KNOT easily integrates into industrial control cabinets or manufacturing environments.
