DroneBeacon product notification
Recently, we have conducted external audits for DroneBeacon direct/broadcast RemoteID add-on products (db120, db121, db121pcb and db122fpv) regarding compliance to the RemoteID regulation in the USA and the EU. See also External audit of DroneBeacon RemoteID add-ons, why it matters
We successfully completed these audits, but a firmware update is required to be fully compliant with these regulations. We advise all end-users to upgrade to the latest firmware. It solves these issues:
- In the Remote ID signal we included the take-off time, but it needs to be the current time. In technical terms, this is the timestamp of the System message.
- Improvements on tamper resistance. The FAA has made additions to the technical standard F3586-22 MoC (Means of Compliance) about tamper resistance. Note, after this firmware update, end-user can still switch the broadcast method (WLAN/Bluetooth).
The results of this audit has been submitted to the FAA and the RemoteID regulation prescribe that there will be a public product support and notification procedure to notify the public and end-users about non-compliance issues.
We advise all end-users to upgrade to the latest firmware.
How can you update the firmware?
