Hidden Level’s Drone Tracking System Ready-Made for New FAA Rules
Concept: Drone not broadcasting Remote ID identified by Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS), Remote ID broadcast verified by AMS.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations will begin to require all unmanned aircraft to transmit identification and location information. Hidden Level's Airspace Monitoring Service (AMS) technology is uniquely positioned to track, monitor, and validate drones whether or not they comply with the new FAA rules.
The regulations are in response to the explosive growth of unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, since 2013. The FAA reported over 865,000 registered drones in May 2022 and estimates that number will grow to 1.4 million by 2024.
To prevent collisions with passenger airplanes and other aircraft, the FAA is mandating all drones operating in U.S. airspace have Remote Identification (RID) capability. Remote ID provides agencies like the FAA, law enforcement, and other federal agencies a greater situational awareness to be able to identify when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly. Remote ID also lays the foundation of the safety and security groundwork needed for more complex drone operations. The regulations require all drones made or sold in the United States after December 2022 to support RID, and that all drone pilots (including those who fly for fun, business, or public safety) must register and operate their drone in accordance with the final rule on remote ID, beginning Sept. 16, 2023.
Hidden Level's drone monitoring technology was designed to keep up with the rapid technological advancements to drones such as Remote Identification. In 2019, the company released a white paper identifying potential gaps in RID and published a technology blog identifying additional factors that should be addressed with a comprehensive RID solution.
"When it comes to integrating the FAA's broadcast Remote Identification in drone tracking systems, Hidden Level is way ahead of the game," said Jeff Cole, CEO and co-founder of Hidden Level. "Our AMS not only receives RID signaling in its coverage area but also verifies it, addressing two significant gaps in the RID system."
Those gaps appear when a drone intentionally or unintentionally fails to broadcast RID information, or if it intentionally or unintentionally broadcasts false RID information.
Hidden Level's AMS technology uses a local network of passive RF sensors installed on buildings, rooftops and cell towers, which detects the movements of drone aircraft in the area. That allows it to track drones even without a RID broadcast, resolving the first gap.
The Hidden Level AMS also checks and validates RID signals by correlating fine angle estimates from its sensors on the received RID broadcast messages with the drone position information included in the messages.
"That allows Hidden Level's AMS to detect any drones failing to broadcast RID data or transmitting false information, and report it almost instantaneously," Cole said. "That capability is essential to any organization, whether it's a city, a stadium or a company facility, that is trying to ensure safety and security."
The Hidden Level AMS is a cloud-based scalable solution that utilizes a local network of passive RF drone detection sensors, much like a cellular network, that is owned, operated, and maintained by Hidden Level. The sensors, installed on buildings, rooftops and cell towers, provide real-time location data on drone aircraft. Clients receive streaming AMS data that integrates into a variety of common security platforms.

New RAIN RFID Loop Tag for Jewelers From SimplyRFiD Raises the Standard for Inventory
DALLAS - December 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
"We have been working on driving down the reasons not to use RFID," says Carl Brown, President of SimplyRFiD. "There are 10,000 independent jewelers in the USA looking for a way to manage precious metals and jewels. Our Wave App is a hit and rescues the weekend when it comes to locating misplaced items on a Friday night."
Getting Started With Modern Inventory
1. Tag your items with a JT loop or TR-800 sticker RFID tag.
A loop price tag is a common look for jewelry using barcode price tags. The JT-S Loop RFID jewelry tag (available: January 2023/pre-order now) is designed to be a replacement to the legacy tag.
2. Take Inventory in seconds with the SimplyRFiD Wave Inventory App
Wave will immediately tell you what's found and what's not. A typical store of 2,000-3,000 items takes 5 minutes to inventory.
SimplyRFiD also publishes a how-to guide for jewelers to get started with RFID and a comprehensive guide on best-practices when creating a modern inventory system.
The Results
Leading retailers began rolling out RAIN RFID more than ten years ago. It took a lot of experiments to figure out what worked, but the results are in and they are dramatic.
"SimplyRFiD's Wave App customers are seeing accuracy above 99% vs. 85% accuracy with barcodes," said Eric Richmond, Vice President of Delivery for SimplyRFiD. "Daily inventory with RFID stops permanent inventory losses before it's too late."
This Holiday
SimplyRFiD is offering 1,000 pre-programmed jewelry RFID tags with any new system that includes an RFID handheld and the Wave software. Offer is valid on orders confirmed before Dec 31, 2022. Mention: JEWELRYTAGS22
About SimplyRFiD
SimplyRFiD's Wave Inventory System is a turn-key iOS app that connects to an RFID handheld. A well-equipped SimplyRFID Wave inventory control hardware and software startup package costs about $2,500. After the first year, it's $995/year or about $3/day for unlimited, world-class support and upgrades.
A single Wave handheld can inventory a jewelry store of 1,000 items in about 1 minute.

See it live at the NRF Big Show 2023
SimplyRFiD will be at the National Retail Federation Big Show show in NYC January 15-17 -- booth #4246! Stop by and try our Wave or contact us if you're located in NYC for an in-person demonstration.
