FAQ

What is a Remote ID, and why do I need it?

Remote Identification (Remote ID, RID) is a communication protocol that enables everyone to receive basic information about airborne drones digitally. Europe and the US are leading the way, with the rest of the world following.

What is the difference between Direct and Network Remote ID?

Direct (or Broadcast) RID sends data from the drone directly to nearby receivers via Bluetooth. Network RID sends data via a cellular network to a central cloud system, allowing for tracking over unlimited distances. Our Mini supports both.

When do I need DRI and when NRI? Do I need both?

Current regulations worldwide primarily mandate Direct RID (DRI). The Beacon fulfills this requirement perfectly for the vast majority of pilots. For advanced or future enterprise operations that may require Network RID (NRI), our dual-signal Dronetag Mini is the future-proof solution.

Can I use Beacon without a subscription?

Yes. Beacon works in the free tier of the Dronetag App - no monthly fees.

Which countries does Beacon work in?

Any region using ASTM F3411 or ASD‑STAN prEN 4709‑002 standards, which covers the US, EU, Japan and most of the world.

Is the Beacon compatible with my drone?

Yes. The Beacon is a self-contained, add-on device with its own battery and GPS. It works completely independently and can be attached to any drone, regardless of brand or model.
