The MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4 (EC25-EU&KNe) is a compact industrial LTE Category 4 gateway with Bluetooth, GNSS, GPIO and one Gigabit Ethernet port, running RouterOS v7.

It mounts on a DIN rail, takes a Nano SIM or eSIM, and has Bluetooth 5.4 for BLE sensors and tags, a GNSS receiver and a GPIO header with digital input, analog input and open-drain output (all pins 24 V tolerant). It needs external antennas, which are not included. Power comes from 802.3af/at PoE on the Gigabit port (12-57 V) or USB-C at 5 V.

Key features

  • LTE Category 4, 150 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s up, 2x2 MIMO download
  • LTE FDD bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 28A and TDD bands 38, 40, 41
  • Nano SIM slot and eSIM
  • 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE in
  • Bluetooth 5.4, GNSS with SMA connector, GPIO header
  • DIN rail mounting, -40 to 70 °C tested
  • RouterOS v7, level 3 licence

In the box

  • K-91 fastening set
  • 5 V 0.8 A power adapter
