Connectivity roadmap

The museum’s copper-spined heart: analogue lines, exchange behaviour, period dialling, and the sort of elegant violence only old telephony can inflict on modern expectations.

A resurrection plan for Australia’s first cellular era, with a strong bias toward real equipment where possible and tightly-contained RF where necessary.

Legacy pagers, message injection, and the small glorious panic of one-way communication brought back to life inside the museum.

Packet data from the awkward middle age, where mobile networks learned to stop being only voices and started pretending to be the internet.

Voice, SMS, SIM provisioning, and handset interoperability across a generation of Australian mobile hardware that still feels strangely alive.

Cross-era routing, museum-to-museum links, and carefully chosen ways for dead networks to whisper to each other again.
