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 (e.g., FAA in the US) primarily mandate Direct RID. However, future regulations for advanced operations (e.g., U-space in the EU) will require Network RID. Having both ensures you are compliant today and future-proof for tomorrow.

Can I use the Mini without a subscription?

Yes, the Direct RID (Bluetooth) functionality works without a subscription. However, a subscription is required to unlock the advanced capabilities of Network RID and other cloud features. Plans start at €15 / $15 per month, with the first two months free.

Can I use my own SIM card?

No. For maximum reliability and security, the Mini uses a soldered chip-SIM that Dronetag manages. This prevents connection issues and ensures seamless global roaming.

What countries are supported, and are there any roaming restrictions?

We ship Mini in 3 regional variants that cover nearly every LTE-M/NB-IoT network worldwide. Roaming is enabled by default, so you can hop borders without losing coverage. Check help.dronetag.com for the complete list of supported countries.
