DroneBeacon MAVLink/DroneCAN product family is a so-called direct or broadcast Remote ID long-range transponder that can be integrated into drone products. The products run open-source firmware (ArduRemoteID) and provides a so-called standard Remote ID solution. The products are designed for drone manufacturers, system integrators or DIY enthusiasts. It is compliant with the (upcoming) international standards and has a FCC/CE approved radio module. Furthermore, the transponder is optimized for long range due to its transmit power.

Open source
standard Remote ID vs Remote ID broadcast module
In the USA, the FAA defined two Remote ID product classes: a) standard Remote ID and b) Remote ID broadcast module.
Standard Remote ID products communicate with the flight controller and allow to fly BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight). A second advantage is that the pilot can view the Remote ID status in flight control software such as Mission Planner or QGroundControl. On the other hand, Remote ID broadcast module are stand-alone products and are only allowed for VLOS flight (Visual Line of Sight).
The DroneBeacon MAVLink/DroneCAN product family is a standard Remote ID solution.
