The AGIBOT D1 Ultra quadruped robot on rocky mountain terrain

What connectivity a remote site actually needs, platform by platform

A remote or outdoor site is usually planned around power and network coverage for everything else on it, and the robot's own connectivity is worth checking with the same care rather than assumed.

Three platforms publish a specific radio list, and it is not the same list.
The A2 Ultra ships with Wi-Fi and 4G/5G. The X2 Ultra adds Bluetooth to that pair: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G. The G2 publishes the fullest set, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, Bluetooth and NFC. A site with no cellular coverage and no local Wi-Fi rules out normal operation on any of the three, not just the platform without a docking station.
The X2 Basic does not publish a communication interfaces list at all, which is worth naming rather than guessing at.
It supports OTA firmware updates and a mobile app, both of which need some network path to work, but AGIBOT's own listing does not state which radios provide it, unlike the other three platforms in this catalogue. Confirm the actual mechanism directly for a site planning around the X2 Basic specifically, rather than assuming it matches the X2 Ultra it shares a chassis family with.
4G/5G on three platforms still assumes a signal exists to use.
A remote site with no cellular coverage at all needs Wi-Fi from its own infrastructure, or the connectivity question is unanswered regardless of which radios the platform ships with. That is a site-survey question independent of the spec sheet, and it is the one most likely to be assumed rather than checked.
NFC and Bluetooth serve a different purpose from the network radios, and are worth distinguishing.
The G2's NFC and Bluetooth are short-range, device-to-device connections, not what carries remote monitoring or control traffic; that is the Wi-Fi or 4G/5G half of the same spec line. A site asking whether the robot can be monitored remotely needs the network radios specifically, not the full connectivity list treated as one undifferentiated feature.

Confirm which radios a specific platform ships with, and whether a signal actually reaches the site, before assuming connectivity is settled by the word "wireless" on a spec sheet.
