AIRAWARE X1 Portable Remote ID Detection Bridge
Product Description
AirAware X1 is a compact Remote ID detection bridge designed to work with supported drone detection applications on iOS and Android devices.
The unit passively receives compliant FAA Remote ID broadcasts, processes the signal internally, and wirelessly rebroadcasts decoded data locally — eliminating the need for a direct hardware connection to your smartphone or tablet.
With integrated battery power, magnetic mounting capability, and an external high-gain antenna, AirAware X1 provides a portable solution for enhanced situational awareness of FAA Remote ID broadcasts in mobile environments.

Real-World Detection Performance
Field testing in open environments has demonstrated:
- Up to 2.2 miles detection range at approximately 400 ft AGL
- Approximately 3,800 feet detection range at approximately 200 ft AGL
Detection range will vary depending on aircraft type, antenna orientation, terrain, environmental conditions, and RF interference.
How It Works
- AirAware X1 passively receives FAA Remote ID broadcasts.
- The device processes and decodes signal data internally.
- Decoded data is rebroadcast locally.
- Compatible drone detection applications display aircraft identification and telemetry information within range.
No pairing or physical connection is required. Simply power the device and operate within range.
