Question	Answer
What are the network speed requirements for DJI Air 3S using Enhanced Transmission?	Please ensure that the network speed is at least 5 Mbps.
Is it possible to manually switch between Enhanced Transmission and the aircraft’s original video transmission?	When there is no signal from the original video transmission, it’s not possible to switch between the original video transmission and Enhanced Transmission. However, when both the original video transmission and 4G link signals are available, you can manually enable or disable Enhanced Transmission.
How much data does DJI Air 3S consume when using Enhanced Transmission?	When operating under good DJI O4 video transmission signal conditions, DJI Air 3S will not activate the 4G video transmission link. If the transmission completely switches over to a 4G link, a 30-minute flight will consume about 1 GB of data. This value is for reference only. Please refer to the actual data usage.
Why does the live view occasionally experience increased latency when using Enhanced Transmission?	Enhanced Transmission using 4G technology connects both the aircraft and the remote controller to a server, which then relays the video feed and control commands. This method depends on the 4G signal strength at both the aircraft and remote controller ends, so it is crucial to operate the aircraft in areas where the 4G signal on your remote controller or smartphone is at or nearly at full strength. Additionally, when flying, the aircraft can face weaker 4G signals due to several factors: 1. Base stations primarily aim 4G signals towards the ground, so signal quality is naturally poorer in the air and worsens with altitude. In urban areas filled with tall buildings, though the aerial signal may be stronger, it is more likely to encounter network congestion. 2. During flight, the aircraft may encounter increased clutter and interference in the air. This inconsistent signal coverage in the air can cause latency in the aircraft’s 4G connection. 3. The 4G reach of each base station is fairly restricted, ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of meters in urban settings. Hence, the aircraft has to continuously switch from one base station to another during flight, and each switch can affect the smoothness of data transmission.
Does the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 support using a SIM card from a mobile virtual network operator?	It is not recommended to use a SIM card from a mobile virtual network operator.
What type of SIM cards does the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 support? Are there any related factors I should be aware of?	1. The DJI Cellular Dongle 2 is compatible with nano-SIM cards and eSIM. (Currently, eSIM is not supported outside of the Chinese mainland.) Please purchase and use the SIM card in accordance with local laws and regulations. 2. It is strongly recommended to purchase a SIM card that supports 4G network from an official mobile network operator. 3. Do not use an IoT card; otherwise, video transmission quality will be severely affected. 4. Do not use a SIM card provided by a mobile virtual network operator; otherwise, it may result in network connection issues. 5. Do not cut a SIM card by yourself; otherwise, the SIM card may be damaged, or the rough edges and corners may cause the SIM card to be unable to be inserted or removed properly. 6. If the SIM card is set with a password (PIN code), make sure to insert the SIM card into the smartphone and cancel the PIN code; otherwise, network connection issues may arise. 7. Do not insert or remove the SIM card after powering on the DJI Cellular Dongle 2.
