I’ll try to answer a couple of these the best I can. For the other questions you’re best contacting PurpleAir directly at contact@purpleair.com.

The data transmission requirements are minimal, it’s a small HTTP request every few minutes. The sensor itself will continue to operate without Internet access, it just won’t record the readings (unless it is equipped with an SD card). Its unlikely you would run into any capacity issues unless your Internet access is antiquated (dial-up) or extremely limited.
Can Purple Air Sensors be installed safely on systems with differring operating speeds ( 2.4 versus 5.0 GHz)
The current PurpleAir sensors only support the 2.4GHz WiFi band.
