(Direct/Broadcast) Remote Identification (Remote ID) adds “beacon” capability to drones to
broadcast basic information of airborne drones, such as the operator's registration number, drone
serial number and current position. The EU, USA and Japan plan or have new rules that make
Remote ID mandatory for drones over 250 grams weight. The beacon information can be used by
general public, law enforcement and drones to give better situation awareness of the airspace
around them.
BlueMark Innovations BV offers Remote ID transponders and receivers. DroneBeacon is an add-on
(transponder) for drones which broadcasts Remote ID beacon signals. DroneScout is a receiver that
detects Remote ID signals of nearby drones up to several km distance (in open space). See
for more information about our products.
