Overview

Holybro RemoteID Module is a low-cost, small-size, and light-weight module that broadcasts information about UAVs in flight through WiFi and Bluetooth. It supports both CAN and serial protocols. It is a FCC and CE-approved radio module.

The products run open-source firmware (ArduRemoteID) and provides a so-called standard Remote ID solutionprimarily target drone manufacturers & system integrators.

Note: This product is designed for the Standard Remote ID Solution, primarily targeting drone manufacturers and system integrators, as you need to do your own approval process at the FAA (DoC submission) if you are in the USA. For the most accurate and latest information related to this topic, please refer to the official governance website of your country.

Good product, just read the fine print

Well-built as usual from Holybro. However, please make sure to read the description before purchasing this. As it says, "you need to do your own approval process at the FAA (DoC submission) if you are in the USA." You WILL NOT be able to legally use this module on your drone as a hobbyist, since there is no way as of now to generate your own ID.
