When paired with a compatible remote start or alarm system, Drone Mobile can connect you to your vehicle from anywhere in the world. With the simple addition of a module that can be installed either before or during a remote start installation, you will be able to control your car’s engine and lock and unlock doors and pop the trunk with a smartphone app. Drone Mobile’s premium plans take it a step further by adding GPS tracking and parental controls.
The most basic Drone Mobile plan keeps you connected to your vehicle through a cellular LTE connection. Like your smartphone, this requires a data plan, but it can be used on any network as the hardware has an independent LTE connection that is entirely separate from your phone. Because of this, our subscriptions are some of the cheapest data plans in the country.
The Premium plan adds detailed breadcrumbing, logging each trip you make in the vehicle with date, time and location information. It also includes geofences, allowing you to receive an alert any time the vehicle leaves or enters a designated perimeter that you have set up. This is a great feature if you have a young driver in your household and want to be able to monitor their driving habits.
Drone Mobile’s Ultimate plan goes even further with a “breadcrumb” that records each trip, providing turn-by-turn tracking. This makes it easy to log mileage for work-related expenses and create expense reports for tax purposes. It also provides speed notifications that will send an alert to your phone any time the vehicle exceeds a preset limit you have set.
Another great feature is the ability to convert your drone into a mobile cell site during emergencies. When a natural disaster strikes, first responders and local residents may experience significant drops in connectivity as they use their smartphones to access the internet for news, emergency services and personal communications. A drone turned mini cell tower can quickly be deployed to provide first responders and residents with 4G connectivity in an area that would otherwise have limited or no service.
Compustar is proud to offer these public safety drones turned cell towers as part of our Drone Mobile offering, available with any Premium two-way remote start or alarm installation. You can purchase a Drone Mobile subscription in advance on a prepayment term or choose to pay month by month as you need it. All Drone Mobile hardware is covered by a limited lifetime warranty as well. To learn more about our products and find a dealer near you, visit the Drone Mobile website.
