DJI Cellular Dongle 2 Review: Enhanced 4G Drone Transmission

[Typhoon]

Do you use a phone sim or a data sim
Received mine today going to try with a data sim but been told may not work so will buy a phone sim later

[GEEV]

Do we need a call sim card or data sim card?

[mr.nobody]

Already test to mavic 3 pro? Is it compatible?

[michaelantcliff]

Does this dongle work with the RCPro2 controller?

[dronetheworldk]

illegal to use use in the UK unless you meet lots of different requirements .

Dji 4G dongle it's NOT legal in the UK unless you do the following. for most people this is just not going to happen.

Anyone installing and using the DJI dongle must have a UAS
Radio Operator licence from Ofcom for its use to be legal. It is a condition of the licence that the user must get explicit written permission from the mobile network(s) they wish to use that they have consented to the use of an airborne terminal on their network.
For example, BT/EE has its own specific mobile drone business that provides specialist sim cards. Another requirement is that the drone must not to able to transmit on or connect to the 2.6 GHz mobile band due to interference risks to Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radars in the adjacent 2.7 GHz band. In most cases this cal acheived by the mobile network.

If someone purchases a standard mobile sim card, places it into the dongle and uses it without having a written airborne agreement from the mobile network(s) they are using, then this is illegal. In the case of using a simcard belonging to an MVNO (e.g. Tesco, GiffGaff, etc...) the permission must come from the network they are using (e.g. VMO2). For more information look at sections 3.4-3.11 of our UAS Radio Operator licence guiance.

The reason for these restrictions, as well as the risk of interference to ATC radars, is that the mobile networks are not currently desgned to handle airborne traffic. If used airborne the mobile terminal can see and try to connect to multiple mobile base stations causing congestion and performance issues for the network. This isn't the case when used on the ground. The worldwide mobile equipment standards being developed by 3GPP include drone functionality but these are likely to take a number of years before they are rolled out on the UK networks.

Concerning the second point on operation, this the responsibility of the CAA and all drone operators must comply with the air safety requirements it has in place.
The licence from Ofcom only covers the authorisation of the equipment under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 as does not supercede any air safety or airspace management regulations.

confirmed directly from Ofcom .
