Wildfire Detection by SILVANET

Dryad's Silvanet is a complete solution for ultra-early wildfire detection and forest health and growth monitoring. It includes sensors, an open standards network infrastructure, as well as monitoring, analytics and alert services.

​

Our Silvanet wildfire detection system comprises:

WILDFIRE SENSOR

Solar-powered sensors with embedded artificial intelligence that measure various gasses, temperature, humidity and air pressure.

​

Sensor nodes connect to Silvanet gateways using LoRa, the open standards long range radio network for IoT.

MESH GATEWAY

Scalable, distributed LoRaWAN gateways support a wide range of compliant sensors.

​

Enables large-scale deployment of multi-party sensor networks within forests of all types.

CLOUD PLATFORM

Cloud-based big data tools for analytics, monitoring and alerting.

​

Ultra-early detection of forest fires during smoldering phase.

​

Actionable information and tools for forest owners.

USE CASES

Silvanet provides ultra-early fire detection, forest health and growth monitoring solutions for public and private forests. It provides actionable insights based on live data gathered from Silvanet sensors and compatible third party sensors.
