Network Attachment, Not Network Discovery
A Simplex Wireless article diagnosed why IoT modems take 15 minutes to register on roaming SIMs. The fixes are real and immediate. But the architectural question underneath them is more interesting: why is the device discovering its network in the field at all?
The Firmware Fallacy
Why over-the-air updates are not the connectivity safety net most teams think they are, and what to do instead. The first piece in a sustained argument about how IoT companies should think about long-lived devices.
The Consumer SIM Trap
How consumer-grade connectivity decisions, often inherited from a connected-product team that came up through retail or D2C, quietly lock enterprise IoT deployments into long-term cost and architectural debt.
Why We Score Readiness Across Five Axes
The reasoning behind ENODA's readiness assessment framework, and why a single composite score would have hidden the things that actually matter.
