SILVANET MESH GATEWAY

Dryad's LoRaWAN mesh network allows early wildfire detection across vast land areas thanks to distributed LoRaWAN gateways. Works with the Silvanet Border Gateway to provide 24/7 wildfire detection.

The Silvanet Mesh Gateway extends the Silvanet Network to large deployments beyond the reach of the standard single-hop direct connection between sensors and gateways in standard LoRaWAN networks. 

 

The patent-pending architecture uses a multi-hop mesh network of Gateways interconnected with LoRa and each serving as a standard LoRaWAN gateway to Silvanet Wildfire Sensors and third party sensors. 

 

The solar-powered Mesh Gateways are placed in the forest, forming a LoRaWAN meshed IoT network with a typical distance of 2-3 km depending on topology and gateway placement. 

 

It does not require direct 4G/LTE radio or Ethernet connectivity which ensures low power consumption supported by the built-in solar panel.
