So, about that field comms network—I've got a few ideas on how to strip it down to the essentials while keeping it rock‑solid.

Nice, let’s cut the fluff. Keep a single backbone, use open standards, cut hops, and make monitoring visible. Anything else?

Add a fail‑over switch at the far end, lock down the firmware with signed images, and set up a lightweight SNMP agent on each node so the ops crew can pull stats in real time. That’s the only extra layer that won’t trip up your command flow.

Good, just remember the switch needs a redundant power supply, the signed firmware must be verified before deployment, and keep the SNMP community strings simple but unique. That keeps the flow clean.

Got it—power redundancy, pre‑flight firmware checks, and tight SNMP credentials. No room for slip‑ups, keep it tight.
