TTN support for MQTT SparkPlug?

Good morning, TTN friends -

I have some temperature sensors out in the field that utilize our Holland Michigan LORA city-wide network. The nodes report up through gateways to TTN, and I pull data down via MQTT. All is well.

We want to, however, bring the data into our power plant’s SCADA system that speaks MQTT, plus SparkPlug, which is an additional data specification that overlays MQTT. Anyone familiar with it?

My understanding is that a Edge of Network (EON) device would take data from sensors and provide MQTT+Sparkplug formatted data. In my environment, that would be TTN.

So, here’s my question!

Can TTN act as a Sparkplug EON, providing additional data format and functionality?

Since my search is in vain, I’m thinking no, which leads to my second question - How would I get my nodes to deliver MQTT+SparkPlug? Are there sensor nodes that support it? Is there some other device that would convert data?

Thanks in advance for any answers and advice you might have.
