Have seen this firsthand in (literal) field demos. Radios don't work. Field equipment is noisy, sound and electromagnetically. Just things. The "cloud" isn't effectively down the street. The nearest fiber is over a mile away. And so on.

The current brick wall to bang heads against is putting all of that under "connectivity" and working on that, and trying to sell solutions which are not as reliable as they should be; instead of doing compute more locally, or applying traditional system analysis to figure out what really needs to be realtime, and what "realtime" really means.

Would love to get a job in the field working on the compute / local telemetry solution somewhere in the Pacific Northwest USA. Definitionally I suppose that means somewhere you have to drive because there are no commercial flights; there's a quite lot of space like that, surprising / not surprising depends on your bias I suppose.
