The Aerobits idME from Poland is a Remote ID module for installation inside a drone. It broadcasts the identification over Bluetooth, is configured with AT commands or MAVLink and takes its power from the aircraft. At 31.5 x 15.5 x 7.3 mm it is an add-on block for platforms that have an interface to the autopilot.
The module transmits over Bluetooth 4.0 and 5.2 (BLE) at up to +18 dBm, which is about 63 mW. The identification goes out as a broadcast to every receiver in range, for example a smartphone running a scanner app. The idME has no GNSS receiver of its own: position comes from the flight controller, so the module is only as good as the position data it is fed. At 4 g it barely matters on light drones, but on aircraft close to the 250-gram limit it counts towards take-off weight.
In the EU a module must transmit to ASD-STAN EN 4709-002 and carry an EU declaration of conformity; the US standard ASTM F3411-19 alone is not enough. FCC and EASA are named as certifications, while CE marking is still pending. Direct remote identification has to be active on drones of classes C1, C2, C3, C5 and C6 and, in the specific category, since 01.01.2024.
When choosing, check whether the flight controller can pass the operator number and position to the module over MAVLink, and whether the registration number can be entered. There are no wear parts; firmware upkeep matters because the Remote ID specifications have moved on. During installation keep the antenna out from behind carbon fibre, which cuts the range of the 2.4 GHz signal sharply.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
