SILVANET BORDER GATEWAY

Distributed LoRaWAN® Gateway Connecting the Silvanet Cloud Platform

The Silvanet Border Gateway connects the Mesh Gateways and relays messages from Wildfire Sensors to the Silvanet Cloud Platform.

It is installed at the edge of the forest area, typically in a forest house or near a village providing internet connectivity for the Silvanet network. Connectivity options include built-in 4G (LTE-M/NB-IOT), 2G (GPRS) and built-in Ethernet (PoE).

​

The Border Gateway can be mains powered (via PoE) or using the two 20W solar panels for off-grid operations.

 

Satellite connectivity can be implemented via external satellite modems (e.g. Starlink).
