Flat monthly price or per-GB pricing for drone and survey data?
Per-GB transfer pricing is simple at low volume and grows with every capture and delivery. How to work out your monthly volume, what each model costs at 500 GB to 15 TB a month using published prices, the costs that do not show on the price page, and when each model is the better deal.

Why file transfers slow down over distance, and what actually fixes it
Latency and packet loss, not bandwidth, decide how fast a large file moves over a long link. How TCP's congestion control turns a gigabit into a trickle, what parallel streams and tuning can and cannot do, and where UDP-based transfer changes the arithmetic.
