Do I need a SIM card for my drone?
Drones these days are like most smart devices – they have frequent software updates and sync (backup) to the cloud. That being said, you don’t *have to* use a SIM card in your drone… they just make things more convenient.
Drones connected via cellular get these goodies:
- Most up-to-date map data for easier field planning
- Real-time firmware & software updates (non-intrusive)
- Immediate syncing of spray jobs & flight logs
- For XAG drones, connection range can be extended via cellular instead of remote control signal
- Access to local CORS (RTK) networks for centimeter precision (so you don’t have to buy your own local RTK base station.
Carrier-specific SIMs connect to one carrier only. Although we offer cellular SIM cards for all of the major U.S. Carriers, we have found that the AT&T network is the most reliable for XAG & DJI Drones.
