From ICAO identity to Standard Remote ID.
Drones produced for the U.S. market after 2022 need Standard Remote ID. Zing consults with UAS manufacturers on the full path: manufacturer identity, including ICAO code work, through a compliant Standard Remote ID implementation.
One engagement, from manufacturer identity to a Standard Remote ID aircraft.
Standard Remote ID is built into the airframe. It is the production requirement for most drones sold into the United States after 2022, and it is the path that keeps later BVLOS and Part 108 plans from hitting a module-only dead end. Zing has shipped FAA-accepted Remote ID hardware. We use that same stack of identity, radio, and documentation work with OEMs that need the built-in version.
We start at manufacturer identity, including ICAO code and serial-number issuance, and stay through message design, broadcast implementation, test planning, and Declaration of Compliance support. You keep the airframe. The FAA keeps the acceptance. We keep the process moving.
What manufacturers get.
Manufacturer identity and ICAO code support
Serial-number and ANSI/CTA-2063-A issuance planning
Standard Remote ID architecture and message design
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth broadcast implementation guidance
Lab and field test planning against FAA Part 89
Declaration of Compliance package support
Operator documentation and labeling review
A single path from first identity work to a Standard Remote ID aircraft
Zing consults on Standard Remote ID design and documentation. The FAA issues acceptances. This is not legal advice, and Zing does not grant regulatory approval on the FAA's behalf.
Standard Remote ID is not the same as a broadcast module.
Both can satisfy Part 89 in some cases. They are not interchangeable for production or for BVLOS.
Built in
Standard Remote ID
Designed into the aircraft at manufacture. Broadcasts live aircraft and control-station location without the visual-line-of-sight limits that come with a module. This is the consulting path on this page.
Add-on
Remote ID broadcast module
An attached transmitter for aircraft that do not have Standard Remote ID. It can keep a legacy fleet legal for many VLOS flights. Z-RID Lite is Zing's FAA-accepted module for that job.

Common questions from OEMs.
For most unmanned aircraft produced for operation in the U.S. after the 2022 production deadline, manufacturers must build in Standard Remote ID or design the aircraft to operate with an FAA-accepted broadcast module. Standard Remote ID is the built-in path. Operators then have to fly a compliant aircraft (or inside a FRIA) under Part 89. This is general information, not legal advice.
A broadcast module can bring some existing aircraft into Part 89 compliance, but it has operational limits, including visual-line-of-sight rules that Standard Remote ID does not. Aircraft aimed at Part 108-style BVLOS operations should plan for Standard Remote ID. See the Standard Remote ID vs. broadcast module article.
No. Zing consults on identity, design, testing, and documentation. The FAA accepts Declarations of Compliance. Zing does not issue ICAO codes or grant regulatory approval on the FAA's behalf.
