Instruments flood a site with raw data. A data centre in a 20 ft container runs the models beside them and sends only results upstream. Seven decisions, each worked out live.
01 · Raw is heavy
Bitrate
An uncompressed frame is width × height × bits per pixel; 8-bit 4:2:0 colour costs 12 bits a pixel. Multiply by the frame rate and the cameras on site and the stream dwarfs a satellite or microwave link long before it reaches a region.

02 · Inference at the edge
Results
The GPU servers in the container’s racks turn frames into detections. A binary record of class (2 bytes), confidence (4), box (4 × 4), timestamp (8) and camera (2) is 32 bytes; that, not the frame, is what leaves the site.

Round trip
Glass slows light to about c/1.47, close to 4.9 µs a kilometre. A control loop that must answer within its deadline pays that twice, out and back, before a single switch, queue or model runs. Distance alone can rule a region out.

Outage
Inference never stops for the backhaul. Results queue on local disk in order, and when the link returns the backlog drains at whatever capacity the live stream leaves free: drain time = backlog ÷ (link − live rate).

05 · Attestation
SHA-256
Each boot stage hashes the next before handing over control and extends a platform configuration register: PCR = SHA-256(PCR ‖ digest). A register can only be extended, never set, so its final value proves the whole chain. A remote verifier compares a signed quote of it with the golden value. Tamper with a stage and watch every later value change.

06 · Signed plan
ECDSA P-256
The plan names the model by its digest and the waves of the fleet that take it. It is signed with ECDSA over P-256 and SHA-256; every node verifies the signature against a key it already trusts before it fetches a byte. Change one character after signing and no node moves.

Survey
The same box plans and checks a survey flight. Ground sample distance is sensor width × altitude ÷ (focal length × image width); overlap sets the spacing of the lines. In Canada, Part IX of the Canadian Aviation Regulations caps routine flight at 122 m above ground.
