Dronetag Mini - Remote Identification

Remote Identification

Network Remote Identification

Dronetag Mini transfers your drone's position and identification to our cloud. By displaying the real-time data in our app Dronetag enables advanced drone operations and coordination of manned and unmanned traffic in the same airspace.

Direct (Broadcast) Remote Identification

Your drone's info is transmitted via Bluetooth to up to 3 km (1.86 miles). With our Direct Remote ID, you fulfil all the new regulation necessities, and you are free to fly & touch the sky!

Supported regions

European Union (ASD-STAN)

Compliant with prEN 4709-002 which requires Direct Remote Identification for drones above 250 grams flying below 120 meters in the Specific category. Mini is also capable of Network Remote ID, which will be mandatory for drone operations in so-called U-space.

USA (ASTM)

Dronetag Beacon is Approved by FAA (check the DoC here) and Compliant with ASTM F3411 which requires Broadcast Remote ID for all pilots flying out of FAA-recognized identification areas.

Other countries

Mini is usable anywhere in the world with the Direct or Broadcast Remote ID via Bluetooth. The Network Remote ID functionality is fully dependent on the coverage of cellular networks. All countries using ASD-STAN or ASTM standards are supported. Check your local rules.

What is a Remote ID and why do I need it?
Remote Identification (Remote ID), means that other parties can receive basic information about airborne drones digitally (in a similar way to general aviation). The example data that Remote ID drones transmit wirelessly during flight is the operator's registration number, drone serial number, and current position.
Europe and US are currently leading the way with the rest of the world following their trajectory. Remote ID aims to enable organized management of drone operations to ensure safe airspace

What is the difference between Broadcast and Network Remote ID?
There are two types of Remote IDs. The first is Broadcast (in some countries called Direct) Remote ID (BRI), in which the drone broadcasts data directly to nearby entities ranging from hundreds of meters to a few kilometers. The second type is Network Remote ID (NRI), where the drone sends the data via a cellular network to a central system where it can be accessed by other users.

Do I need to sign up for a subscription to broadcast Remote ID? 
No, to broadcast and receive remote ID locally==, you do not need to signup for a subscription, however, if you want to access Network Remote ID (NRI) features (real-time drone tracking & flight data, flight planning, airspace notifications), you can sign up for a subscription on DroneTag's website. 

When do I need BRI and when NRI? Do I need both?
In the USA, the FAA mandates pilots to use DRI modules from September 2023 and drone manufacturers to comply with it (to produce Standard Remote ID drones) starting December 2022.

The current European-wide drone regulation requires all drones flying in a Specific category to fulfill the DRI requirements starting 1st July 2022. The technology and protocol are already defined in prEN 4709-002.

However, the situation about the NRI mandate is still a bit unclear. All we know is that it will be required to access U-space airspace starting January 2023.
To sum it up, having both DRI and NRI systems on your drone is better. Dronetag Mini is future-proof and will always fulfill the latest standards.

Can I use the Mini without the subscription?
Yes, you can. But keep in mind, that subscription is needed to use the full potential of the Mini. It covers the costs for the SIM tariff and SW platform. Our plan starts from a mere 15 EUR / USD per month per device + you get the first 6 months for free (see our plans). Moreover, we don't lock you into any contracts, so you can cancel the subscription at any time. If you don't like our subscription model, you can still use the Mini in our Free tier (Direct / Broadcast Remote ID functionality via Bluetooth), but without the NRI and other functionalities.

Can I use my own SIM card?
No. Dronetag Mini has a soldered chip SIM and we manage everything about the connectivity for you. There are very good safety, security and economic reasons for this. Concerning the safety, drone vibrations don't play well with common SIM slots and plastic SIMs. For security, we use our SIMs to authenticate against our cloud so the data we show are guaranteed and couldn't be easily spoofed. Lastly, the IoT cellular networks we use are not easily made available to the public, meaning you won't get the pricing as we have because of our higher demand. Using your own SIM would likely mean you would be locked into a long-term contract.

What countries are supported and are there any roaming restrictions?
Dronetag Mini is made in 3 different variants – A, K, and V. Each of those is compatible with multiple cellular networks in each country where we operate. With this strategy, we can offer our systems worldwide
