Cloud, AIO or On-Premises
One platform, three ways to run it.
Which edition fits?
Answer four questions.
- Cloud if DJI’s cloud is acceptable.
- AIO if data stays local, you need offline use, and you have up to 20 devices.
- On-Premises if data stays local and you have more devices or your own IT team.
A starting point, not a quote. We confirm the fit with you.

Add what you need
Terra 3D reconstruction
Build 2D and 3D models on your own GPU. Built into the AIO; a separately licensed module for On-Premises, ideally on its own GPU server. DJI says the AIO turns 500 images into a 3D model in about five minutes.
4G Private Enhanced Transmission
Works with the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 on docks and aircraft to keep video and control up where the main link struggles, over a private APN. Built into the AIO; an optional module for On-Premises.
Multimodal LLM search
Search media and flag objects by text or image. On-Premises runs the model on a separate GPU server with at least 80 GB of video memory.
More livestreams
Larger On-Premises servers can spread livestreaming across more CPU cores for more simultaneous streams.
Adaptive network
For servers with several network cards, or docks on other subnets. Supports Dock 3 and manually flown aircraft.
Licensing, in plain terms
On-Premises and AIO activate once over the internet, then can run offline. Device counts come from a base package plus expansion packs. The On-Premises license is tied to its server; the AIO license lives on a USB dongle that must stay in.
