Case Study: ZELUS achieves reliable, high-speed LiDAR transfers and eliminates file corruption with Signiant Media Shuttle

ZELUS Finds a Reliable FTP Alternative with Signiant Media Shuttle

ZELUS, a Phoenix-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) and virtual design firm that uses LiDAR to create large 3D models for clients like Amazon and NYU Langone, was routinely stalled by unreliable FTP transfers. Disconnections, corrupted files, throttled speeds and file-size limits forced staff to re-upload data, ship hard drives overnight, and left projects as much as 66% behind schedule.

ZELUS adopted Signiant Media Shuttle, which provided accelerated, secure file transfers with automatic resume and no practical file-size limits. After field testing and deployment, transfers became faster and far more reliable—ZELUS saved a critical project, reduced upload errors to under 5%, eliminated costly shipping workarounds, and maintained project schedules and budgets while scaling to larger data volumes.
