The AirDetect Pro Long Range is AirPlate’s longest-reaching fixed sensor. It scans for Remote ID drones and older DJI drones at the same time, and reports every detection to the AirPlate app: you see the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

It scans both bands at the same time. Which drones each kind of scanning covers is in What it detects.

  1. Omni antennas
    Two, on a bracket at the top of the mast
  2. Tri-sector antennas
    Three, around the mast
  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.
