What corporate IT actually sees
Nothing. The pod has its own LTE-M modem. The foreman scans a QR with a phone, the pod shows up on the dashboard, and that is the entire integration.
What the plant network does not see
- No VLAN request on the customer’s switch stack.
- No firewall exception — outbound-only TLS to our cloud, nothing inbound ever opened.
- No port opening on the corporate firewall.
- No new subnets, no jump hosts, no DMZ work.
- No IT tickets, no IT projects, no IT approvals on the pilot timeline.
If your IT team still asks for paperwork
Send us a line at the address below. We hand back a one-page network profile — modem vendor, APN, payload volume, and the TLS cipher list. Most teams approve it the same afternoon; the rest of the pilot stays on the maintenance crew’s calendar, not IT’s.
