Get compliant todayWhat is Remote ID compliance for drones?
Remote ID technology is essentially a digital license plate for your drone. It broadcasts critical identification, location, and altitude information in real-time during flight, similar to how transponders work in traditional aviation. The FAA mandates this technology to enhance airspace safety, security, and accountability as commercial drone operations continue to expand nationwide.
With Remote ID, your drone transmits vital data including:

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you're wondering about our Remote ID Install process, answered.
Do I need a broadcast module for my drone?
Yes, all commercial drones operated under Part 107 regulations must have their own unique Remote ID broadcast module. While hobbyists may use one module for multiple recreational drones, commercial operators must have individual modules for each aircraft in their fleet.
How does Remote ID actually work?
Remote ID broadcasts your drone’s identification and location information using radio frequency signals that can be received by authorized parties within the broadcast range. These signals contain your drone’s serial number, location, altitude, and control station location, creating accountability in the national airspace.
What happens if my drone isn't compliant by the deadline?
Non-compliant drones cannot legally be operated in US airspace after the March 16, 2024 deadline. Violations may result in significant fines, certificate actions against the pilot, and potential criminal penalties for willful violations.
Can I install Remote ID on any drone model?
Most modern commercial drones can be retrofitted with Remote ID broadcast modules. However, some older models may require additional modifications or may not support full compliance features. Contact our technical team with your specific drone model for compatibility assessment.
How do I verify my Remote ID is working properly?
After installation, our technicians perform comprehensive testing to ensure proper broadcast functionality. For DIY installations, we provide access to testing tools and verification procedures as part of our kit.
