Device-native
Cellular state extends Nautobot Device, Interface, and InventoryItem instead of inventing parallel inventory.
Alpha release | Nautobot owns desired state
Turn the wireless edge into a controlled system.
nautobot_cellular_sot binds routers, modem interfaces, SIM cards, carrier profiles, and latest operational snapshots into one authoritative Nautobot control plane.
Wireless Infrastructure
AUTHORITATIVE
CellularRouter
Device + modem interface + IMEI
SIMCard
ICCID + slot + lifecycle state
CarrierProfile
Carrier + APN + roaming intent
Conflict Guard
Observed ICCID must match desired assignment
Why it wins
No more SIM spreadsheets. No more mystery modems.
Conflict-aware
Observed SIMs disagreeing with desired assignments are surfaced as operator decisions, not silently accepted drift.
Telemetry sane
Nautobot keeps latest normalized state while Prometheus and Splunk handle high-frequency history and logs.
DiffSync ready
Vendor payloads are normalized through Pydantic before reconciliation ever touches the database.

}Control plane checklist
Every edge router gets a paper trail.
- CRUD pages for routers, SIMs, and carrier profiles.
- Device detail panel shows cellular desired and observed state.
- Summary API and Prometheus text endpoint feed external systems.
- Dry-run reconciliation job protects production intent.
Sneak peek field tape
The cockpit is already on the glass.
Alpha UI captures are checked into the repo so operators can see the Wireless Infrastructure experience before they wire collectors into production.
