Dronetag On-Premise Documentation
Welcome to the Dronetag On-Premise documentation. Running Dronetag Cloud Platform in on-premise mode allows you to deploy our services within your own infrastructure, providing enhanced privacy, security, and control over your drone operations.
Dronetag On-Premise is available in two variants: pre-installed node or self-install kit. The pre-installed node is a ready-to-use hardware solution (a mini PC server) that is ready to plug-and-play. The self-install kit provides the software and instructions to set up your own hardware.
This documentation is a work in progress. We are continuously updating it to provide the most accurate and comprehensive information. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to us.
What is Dronetag On-Premise?
Dronetag On-Premise is a self-hosted solution designed for organizations that require a private and secure environment for their drone tracking and identification needs.
It is designed and usually paired with Dronetag Scout, which is a stationary Remote ID receiver, which can be configured to receive Remote ID messages and send them on local network to the on-premise instance, instead of sending the data to our cloud platform instance.
On-Premise Available Functions
The On-Premise can be set-up to offer various levels of functionalities, depending on your needs. Many services are decoupled and can be run independently, allowing you to choose the ones that best suit your requirements.
