SILVANET MESH GATEWAY

Distributed LoRaWAN® Gateway for Large-Scale Outdoor Networks

Dryad’s LoRaWAN mesh network enables early wildfire detection across vast land areas through distributed LoRaWAN gateways. Combined with the Silvanet Border Gateway, it provides continuous, 24/7 wildfire monitoring.

The Silvanet Mesh Gateway expands the Silvanet Network for large-scale deployments using a patent-pending multi-hop LoRaWAN mesh network, far beyond the range of standard single-hop gateways.

 

It connects via LoRa, supporting both Silvanet Wildfire Sensors and third-party devices. In forest environments, the solar-powered Mesh Gateways can cover a radius of 2-10 km depending on the local topology and positioning.

 

The Mesh Gateway operates solely on LoRa radio to communicate with other Mesh Gateways or a Border Gateway, with no need for direct 4G/LTE or wired connections. The built-in solar panels ensure off-grid operations even in very remote locations.
