The AirDetect Long Range covers wide open areas in a full circle from one spot. Three tri-sector antennas give 360° coverage from a single installation point, and it runs with no operator. Every detection goes to the AirPlate app: you see the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

This sensor does not scan for DJI DroneID. Sensors that do

For older DJI drones, the AirDetect Pro Long Range adds a 5.8 GHz scan. Which drones have Remote ID is in What it detects.

  1. Omni antenna
    On top of the mast
  2. Tri-sector antennas
    Three, around the mast: together they cover 360°
  3. Sensor enclosure
    The sensor itself. It needs only power; a SIM card is included.

It needs only power: a SIM card is included, so there is no network to set up. Mount it on a mast or roof, above the skyline: a higher position increases the range. It is rated for −20 °C to +45 °C.

Once it is running, its status shows on the Map page, in the AirDetect Systems panel. See Map.
