Connectivity Plan for RIDER
One of the key elements that make Dronetag stand out is our full-featured Remote ID ecosystem.
We don’t just offer the RIDER as hardware - we provide a complete solution including the web and mobile apps, a robust cloud platform, and supporting software.
This integrated approach ensures a unified and efficient experience for managing your drone detections and airspace awareness.
To unlock the full range of RIDER’s features and cloud connectivity, users can purchase one of our Connectivity Plan*.
Connectivity Plan allow you to store detections securely in the Dronetag Cloud, share live airspace data, and monitor RIDER remotely. They are designed to provide flexibility and scalability - from individual pilots to enterprise users.
When Do I Need a Connectivity Plan?
You need a Connectivity Plan when you want to use RIDER in Online Mode, which requires LTE connectivity to access all cloud-based features.
Much like a mobile phone data plan, your Connectivity Plan covers:
- LTE network access via the built-in SIM card
- Cloud data storage and hosting
- Software development and feature updates
In short, your Connectivity Plan not only keeps your RIDER connected but also supports the continuous improvement of the Dronetag ecosystem.
Using RIDER Without a Connectivity Plan
While Connectivity Plan enhance the RIDER experience, they are not mandatory for basic operation.
Without an active Connectivity Plan, RIDER works in Offline Mode, connecting via Bluetooth to the Drone Scanner (Gen. 2) app.
You can still detect nearby drones in real time, but detections will not be stored in the cloud.
Features available without a Connectivity Plan
- Detect all drones broadcasting Remote ID
- Use the Drone Scanner (Gen. 2) app over Bluetooth
- View live airspace activity (type, speed, heading, operator position, distance, altitude,...)
- Scan in full offline mode without LTE or internet connection
However, without a Connectivity Plan, you won’t have access to:
- Cloud detection history
- Remote access to RIDER data
- Account-wide sharing or integrations
You can download Drone Scanner (Gen. 2) via links below.
Available Connectivity Plan Options
We currently offer the RIDER Connect plan, which is available as a 1, 2, or 3-year licence coming at 300$/year per device
