MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4: Compact LTE Gateway for Industrial IoT

Written by Streakwave | Feb 25, 2026 3:46:36 PM

When you need dependable cellular connectivity in a tight enclosure, the MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4 is built for the job. It is a small industrial LTE gateway designed for integrators and IoT builders, with LTE Cat4, Bluetooth, and GNSS in a DIN-rail friendly form factor.

The big advantage is flexibility: you can deploy it as a primary WAN uplink, an LTE backup path, or a lightweight data collection node for sensors and assets, all powered by RouterOS v7.

LTE Where Wired Internet is Not Practical

The MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4 is built for remote and space-constrained installs where you still need real networking control. It delivers LTE Cat4 connectivity for primary WAN or backup links, plus Gigabit Ethernet for easy drop-in integration. On the IoT side, it adds Bluetooth 5.4 for sensor/beacon workflows and GNSS for location-aware deployments like tracking and field monitoring. And because it runs RouterOS v7, you get the tools teams actually use at the edge: routing, firewall rules, VPN tunnels, and remote management for distributed sites.
