KNOT LoRaWAN: a ready-to-use 863-870 MHz IoT gateway solution for LoRa® technology. For maximum versatility and convenience. Gateway with CAT-M interface for LoRa®.

The KNOT LR8 kit is a ready-to-use IoT gateway solution for LoRa® technology. It uses Narrow Band and CAT-M technology. Thanks to low-cost cellular connection with low bandwidth, it is supported by numerous mobile operators worldwide. This kit includes a preinstalled UDP packet forwarder for any public or private LoRa® server. With support for 8 different channels, Listen Before Talk (LBT) functions, and spectrum scanning, this product will amaze you with its attractive price.

It can be used as an Ethernet backup connection or as a management channel for the network. The monthly NB/CAT-M plan is much cheaper than LTE. Why pay more for bandwidth you don’t need? For example, you can manage a KNOT-powered vending machine with temperature and humidity sensors with just a few megabytes a day!

KNOT offers a wide range of protocols and connectivity options: 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, LoRa®, 2 Ethernet ports at 100 Mbps with PoE-in and PoE-out, Micro-USB. Maximum convenience at the lowest cost!

With the Bluetooth interface, you can use KNOT for asset tracking and telemetry based on Bluetooth advertising packets. KNOT supports any BLE tag that sends advertising data — iBeacon, Eddystone, or any other format. It features powerful filters to forward only relevant packets and ignore the rest.

This kit can also assist you in the most unusual situations. Remember the part about integrated GPIOs? These pins can be used to read all kinds of analog sensors, interact with a single-board computer, or other custom electronic devices: hobbyist kits, D.I.Y. robotics... It’s like having the entire Swiss army instead of just a Swiss army knife!

KNOT is also a great tool for most outdoor IoT applications. It comes with a DIN rail mount that allows easy integration with all kinds of configurations: from agriculture to asset tracking, from cold chain monitoring to industrial production.
