Bluetooth interface allows you to use KNOT for asset tracking and telemetry. KNOT supports advertising packets via Bluetooth. It can support any BLE tag that sends advertising data, whether it's iBeacon, Eddystone, or another format. It has powerful filters to only send relevant packets and ignore others. This kit can be helpful in the most ordinary situations.

KNOT is a great tool for many outdoor cabinet IoT applications. It comes with a DIN rail mounting option, making it easy to integrate with any setup: from agriculture and asset tracking to cold chain monitoring, industrial production, and more. With MikroTik KNOT, you can bring flexible, low-cost connectivity to even the most remote or challenging areas.

How will all this work in real life? Let's consider a hospital. Many materials are constantly moving between large buildings. Equipment, devices, medicines, etc., are constantly changing location. Hospitals often have to spend a lot of resources on inventory control. Place low-cost Bluetooth tags on all important items and add a KNOT device to each. Now, the hospital management will always know whether equipment has been returned to its place. You can also add temperature sensors to medical supplies and use KNOT for this purpose.
