4G Connectivity
4G connectivity warning
Check local regulations before using 4G connectivity, as some countries may restrict or prohibit drone
connections to local 4G networks, even in areas where drone operations are allowed.
In such a situation, turn “Cellular access” off in the FreeFlight 7 application and use the Wi-Fi connection only
(refer to the “Advanced settings / Connection” section of this guide).
About 4G connectivity
4G connectivity opens professional users a wide new world of BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) flights.
Provided 4G coverage is available, ANAFI Ai has no range limit, other than that of its battery.
In interference-ridden environments such as urban areas, 4G connectivity also offers an incomparable
robustness of the communications between drone and controller.
By default, as soon as a compatible nano SIM card is inserted in ANAFI Ai and activated, the Skycontroller 4
optimizes its connection with the drone, choosing between Wi-Fi and 4G network, automatically and in real
time.
You can choose a different behavior (Wi-Fi priority or 4G priority) from the “Connection” Advanced Settings
of FreeFlight 7 – refer to the “ADVANCED SETTINGS / Connection” section of this guide for additional
information.
• Temporarily switching this setting to “4G priority” before a flight is a good way to assess the strength of
your 4G connection – select “Wi-Fi priority” then revert to “Auto” to take off using Wi-Fi.
Be aware that 4G connection and in flight 4G data sharing may generate a charge, according to the 4G data
plans associated to your drone and device SIM cards.
