When the FAA came out with the remote ID rule back in December of
2020, the industry wasn't sure where they would land regarding a broadcast versus networked rule. It ultimately went with a broadcast-only system, but the language even back then suggested that this was a reflection on the needs of today's market and that future rules might, and probably should, include networked options. During that time, Commercial UAV News talked about the merits of broadcast versus networked remote ID, in which we suggested that the real solution was more of a both/and rather than an either/or approach as a necessary step in moving forward with achieving the long-term goals of the industry.
