SILVANET BORDER GATEWAY

Early detection wildfire alerts are made possible thanks to Dryad's Border Gateway. Get in touch to learn more about our patent-pending mesh network that can protect even the most remote forests.

The Silvanet Border Gateway is placed at the border of the target forest area, typically in a forest house or near a village. 

 

The Border Gateway communicates with the Silvanet Cloud Platform, relaying messages from Wildfire Sensors directly or indirectly via Mesh Gateways. 

 

Connectivity throughout the border gateway is provided wirelessly using the built-in LTE radio (4G/LTE-M with 2G/GPRS fallback) or the built-in Ethernet adapter via a wired Internet connection. 

 

For remote areas or where there is no mobile network coverage and no access to mains power, the Silvanet Border Gateway has built-in support for satellite uplink using the SWARM satellite network.​
