Now you get extra security before you fly. Smart Match^TM acquires dual certification from your receiver and your transmitter to give you double the protection.

Now you can bind multiple transmitters to a receiver and Smart Share^TM assures that you have a unique certification for each transmitter. If you fly competitively you can set up two identical transmitters and have a spare one ready to go in the event you need it. No need to find the F/S button on the receiver. It’s all ready to go. Many clubs have trainer aircraft to help new modelers. Now it is easy to allow authorized multiple transmitters to bind with the trainer aircraft receiver.

ACCESS allows one transmitter to control the signal and/or telemetry for up to 3 receivers per model. Receiver redundancy provides an extra layer of safety when flying larger models.

The ACCESS protocol supports up to 24 channels with increased transmission rate and lower latency (Total latency from Tx stick input to Rx channel output) and the elevated performance.

Yes. Some of the new functions like the Power Meter were developed and optimized with the new FrSky transmitters (e.g. Taranis X-Lite Pro). When it comes to wireless performance, the new upgraded RF module is built specifically to use the new ACCESS protocol. This will provide a superior link than if used on a standard module.

The FrSky ACCESS protocol will be applied to both 900MHz and 2.4GHz working frequency bands with different differences in performance. This will work cohesively with the new TD dual frequency products like transmitters, Tx modules, and receivers being released this year.

1. A user has 3 different FrSky radios for each type of aircraft and would like to fly them all with a single radio. As long as the receiver has already registered to the transmitters, the user does not need to access the F/S button on the receiver to switch transmitters.
2. RC Competitors often carry a back-up radio just in case something happens to the primary radio. In this case, if the receiver of their model is also registered to the back-up radio, the pilot can switch to the 2nd radio without accessing the F/S button on the receiver of their model.
3. Clubs that own and operate community special purpose planes, like aircraft for towing gliders up to altitude, will no longer need to only have 1 designated radio for that plane. Each authorized pilot will be able to use his or her own FrSky Transmitter with their own unique identification ID.
4. A user that wants to share a model with a friend can now allow the user to bind to the model without access to the F/S button. When the model is returned, it can simply be re-bound without accessing the F/S button.

The transmitters do have separate modes (LBT and Non-LBT modes). The ACCESS receiver will automatically recognize the working mode according to the transmitter when they are communicating. The LBT mode only works in the EU.  Users in the US and other places can choose either mode to use.

Yes, users can bind the ACCST D16 receivers with a new ACCESS transmitter. FrSky also have the external options (XJT and XJT Lite) for users to bind the older D8 and LR12 receivers.

FrSky will mostly adopt the 8 pins module interface (Lite version) for the new coming radios. For the manufacturers of the third-party external module who follow the requirements below, FrSky will offer the necessary supports of software and hardware including the technical material, interface design and etc.
1. The third-party external modules should be verified by FrSky compatibility tests;
2. The manufacturer does not infringe on others (individual, organization and company) intellectual properties.
Using an unverified external module can cause product impairment. The unverified third-party manufacturer is responsible for any damages that may occur, and the FrSky users warranty will be invalid.

ACCESS protocol brings a lot of new functions like registration, share feature, OTA function, spectrum analyzer, and power meter function. Different functions are enabled base on the hardware resources of each individual product, so each ACCESS product will have their own ACCESS firmware.
Example 1: The power meter function is one of ACCESS functions, this function cannot be enabled if the transmitter is not equipped with the specific hardware.
Example 2: The OTA function is also one of ACCESS functions, and it mainly relies on the memory resource of the receiver, this function cannot be enabled if the receiver memory is insufficient.
