The embedded IoT angle with 5G RedCap is interesting — you're getting reduced complexity without sacrificing the cellular infrastructure story.
One thing that stands out: RedCap's power profile is closer to LTE-M than to full 5G NR. That's meaningful for battery-powered sensors that need occasional burst transmission rather than continuous connectivity.
For data collection from distributed sensors, the question becomes: how do you handle intermittent connectivity gracefully? If the device misses a transmission window, do you buffer locally or drop? For industrial monitoring where data completeness matters, local persistence during connectivity gaps is non-negotiable.
Curious whether your architecture assumes always-on connectivity or handles store-and-forward scenarios.
