Why use external telemetry module over onboard in FC?

Maybe switched to 4G LTE module is a good choice for civilian usage: vdeo and telemetry( for long range) Ah~~~~ that’s the DJI drone.

First I thought I could do LTE. But now I figured is probably not an option for me due to bad coverage in the area of flights, most likely there is no mobile signal at all

Then you can checkout this Global Satellite Telemetry for ArduPilot , or sort of this kind of comm link for telemetry.

Well, it all depens on the requirement. I think it might cost much

— EDIT

BTW, here is a list for ardupilot Telemetry (landing page) — Copter documentation
