SILVANET

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

SENSOR NODES

Solar-powered sensors measure  smoke (gas), temperature, humidity and air pressure.

​

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

DISTRIBUTED GATEWAYS

Scalable, distributed architecture supports millions of low cost sensors.

​

Enables large-scale deployment of sensor networks.

MONITORING & ANALYTICS

Cloud 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.

ULTRA-EARLY

FIRE DETECTION

Enables firefighters to extinguish wildfires before they spread

​

• Dramatically reduces costs of firefighting
