# Pools

On the **Pools** page, you can manage data pools. You can also add preset configurations to ensure consistent data pool management.

### <mark style="background-color:blue;">Static Pool</mark> <br>

* **Purpose:** This pool has a fixed price, along with a fixed allowed balance and overage rate, regardless of the number of terminals or SIMs included. The total data usage of all Terminals/SIMs within the pool is aggregated.
* **Validity Period:** 1 calendar month
* **Payment Terms:** Monthly Fee
* **Payment Type:** Pre-Billing, Advanced Billing, Post-Billing, or Manual Invoice Creation. The system does not validate or enforce payment status (paid/unpaid)
* **Overage:** Yes - you can define a fixed rate that applies when usage exceeds the included balance.
* **Activation  Fee:** Yes. It is applied when a terminal or SIM is added, and included in the invoice at the start of the next billing period. Payment status is not tracked by the platform.
* **Prorate:** disabled
* **MRC:** No
