The Wi-Fi system has two functional modes. The first mode is the FLARM Hub web
application for configuration. In that case, the antenna selection and placement
are not crucial, since the device needs to only cover short ranges.
The second mode is for Remote ID. In that case, for the Atom UAV OEM variant,
an antenna with sufficient gain must selected as described in Section 8. The
antenna must be installed vertically and placed in a location that allows for
omnidirectional radiation characteristics, i.e., without conductors in the vicinity.
When using Remote ID with the Atom UAV standalone variant, the internal Wi-Fi
antenna is used to transmit Wi-Fi NAN packets. In that case it is recommended to
place the device vertically such that the omnidirectional plane of the internal
antenna is aligned with the horizontal plane.
