Move LiDAR and reality-capture datasets from field to office with integrity proof

Built for field-to-office handoff of LAS, LAZ, E57, GeoTIFF, orthos, point clouds, and scan projects where corrupted delivery can create rework — on a plan that starts at 10 TB.

Large scan projects deserve more than a browser upload

Reality-capture teams move enormous structured datasets over variable connectivity. Plans start at 10 TB — built for teams whose transfer volume makes field-to-office ops a real job.

Point clouds and scan projects are enormous

LAS, LAZ, E57 collections, tiled datasets, and zipped tile sets routinely outgrow email and browser tools — far beyond casual sharing limits.

Field-to-office uploads over unreliable links

Mobile mapping and drone operators need retry-friendly transfers with clear progress and ETA — not uploads that fail silently on a hotel Wi-Fi connection.

Clients demand proof files arrived uncorrupted

Re-driving a site because a corrupted archive was delivered costs more than software. Hash verification at upload and download is an operational requirement.

Multiple stakeholders need controlled access

Processing leads, QA teams, and client GIS contacts need recipient-locked downloads with expiration — not open links floating in email threads.

Cloud sync tools lack ops visibility

Large structured folders need a transfer queue with metrics, history, and error logging — not a sync icon that gives you no insight into what's happening.

From scan to processing — without corruption or chaos

TeraAirlift is a desktop operations console for moving massive geospatial datasets to cloud storage and delivering them to the right people under controlled access policies.

Folder uploads with recursive scanning — queue entire survey projects at once
Parallel, chunked transfers tuned for office and field connections
Transfer queue with active, queued, completed, and needs-attention metrics
Speed and ETA visibility so you know when overnight uploads will finish
Retry selected jobs when connectivity drops — no starting from scratch
SHA-256 integrity verification before QA pipelines run
Recipient controls and expiring links for client and subcontractor delivery

How TeraAirlift works for LiDAR teams

Field capture to verified processing handoff — with the visibility ops teams need.

1
Sign in from field or office
Authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID on your rugged laptop or processing workstation. One controlled delivery path for your organization.
2
Queue scan datasets and folders
Drag-and-drop raw scan tiles, classified point clouds, ortho packages, or full project exports. The client scans folders recursively.
3
Set recipients and expiration
Add processing lead, QA, and client GIS contacts. Set link expiration aligned with bid milestones or delivery deadlines.
4
Monitor overnight uploads
Watch queue metrics, throughput, and ETA while large overnight uploads run. Cancel, retry, or clear jobs from the operations console.
5
Processing office downloads
Recipients see available downloads in their dashboard. High-parallelism downloads with progress, speed, and ETA tracking.
6
Verify integrity before QA
SHA-256 verification confirms the dataset arrived uncorrupted. Hash mismatch fails closed — the file is removed, not silently accepted.

Built for reality-capture workflows

Scenarios where controlled large-file delivery matters.

Raw scan tiles to central processing

Upload tiled LAZ collections from mobile mapping vehicles to your processing server — queue multiple jobs from field laptops overnight.

Classified point clouds to client GIS teams

Deliver LAS/LAZ datasets to client CAD and GIS contacts with recipient-locked, expiring download links.

Ortho and DSM packages for bid milestones

Send GeoTIFF orthomosaics and elevation models before deadline with integrity verification and delivery status tracking.

Overnight queue from field laptops

Line up multiple survey job uploads while operators sleep — monitor completion from the office in the morning.

Recipient-locked delivery to subcontractors

Share processing exports with subs under controlled access — not open links that outlive the project.

Field surveyor working outdoors with geospatial equipment

Field-to-office handoffs should survive bad connectivity.

Integrity and access control for geospatial deliverables

When a corrupted dataset can cost a re-flight, verification and controlled delivery aren't optional.

Recipient-controlled delivery

Set who can download, when links expire, and whether access is recipient-only — enforced server-side, not on the honor system.

SHA-256 integrity verification

Files are hashed before upload, validated on completion, and verified again on download — so corrupted deliverables are caught before they reach your client.

Short-lived storage access

Presigned URLs and SAS tokens expire quickly. Blob credentials never persist on the desktop client.

Enterprise identity ready

Operational visibility

Queue metrics, per-transfer detail, delivery status, error logging, and diagnostics export — the visibility generic file-sharing tools don't provide.

Direct data plane transfers

Upload and download traffic goes directly to cloud storage — not proxied through the API — for higher throughput and predictable performance.

Run a planning estimate for your package size and bandwidth before you commit tonight's deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for Dropbox, SharePoint, or Frame.io?: TeraAirlift is a desktop transfer operations console for deadline-driven handoffs — queue, monitor, retry, control recipient access, and verify integrity. Collaboration and review tools remain useful for day-to-day work; TeraAirlift focuses on the large delivery window those tools struggle with. Plans start at 10 TB.
Can recipients download without installing software?: Recipients can receive controlled access for download without needing to adopt your full operations console. Access windows and recipient controls are designed for external stakeholders who only need the package, not your toolchain.
How do expiring links work?: You define an access window for each delivery so review packages and client handoffs do not remain open indefinitely. When the window ends, access expires — useful for freelance, vendor, and client collaboration.
What does integrity verification mean?: Integrity verification helps confirm the package that left your side matches what the recipient received — reducing costly rework from corrupted or incomplete transfers on multi-terabyte deliverables.
What does “plans start at 10 TB” mean?: 10 TB is the starting allotment — the plan floor. You can move packages of any size. If you use less than 10 TB, you’re still on the 10 TB plan; volume above your allotment is metered as overage. It’s sized for teams that have outgrown casual file sharing, not a per-file minimum.
Can I use this for very large folders?: Yes. TeraAirlift is positioned for massive professional datasets — media packages, point clouds, and BIM deliverables — with queue visibility instead of blind browser uploads. Package size isn’t the floor; the 10 TB starting plan is.
What if my connection drops?: Retry-friendly transfer operations are part of the design. Unreliable field or suite networks should not force you to restart a multi-hour handoff from zero without visibility.
How is pricing handled?: Plans start at 10 TB, with overage above your allotment. Details are confirmed during a demo so pricing reflects your volume, vertical, and delivery pattern.
Is this available for Windows and Mac?: TeraAirlift is a desktop console oriented to professional workstations. Platform details are confirmed during the demo for your team's environment.
