Firmware releases
The official firmware feed (https://update.teradek.com/wares.php?product=node) lists guides and tools for this product but no firmware, so any firmware values come from other sources.
Owner, 2026-10-22: There is no official end-of-life policy yet (one is being worked on); until it exists, support covers every product, so no end-of-support date is given.
Owner, 2026-10-24: Node modems take any SIM, the customer's own SIM included.
