Product Description

Silvanet Suite

Silvanet by Dryad Networks offers a comprehensive solution for early wildfire detection and forest management. Using advanced AI-supported, solar-powered gas sensors, Silvanet provides ultra-early wildfire detection, allowing for rapid response and minimizing damage.

Silvanet Wildfire Sensor

The Silvanet Wildfire Sensor is designed for ultra-early fire detection, identifying forest fires in their early stages (even during the smoldering phase) by sensing gases like Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, and others emitted during pyrolysis. These sensors enable firefighters to act swiftly, preventing the spread of wildfires.

Key Features:

Early Detection: Detects fires as early as the smoldering phase.

AI-Driven Accuracy: Uses built-in AI to minimize false alarms and ensure reliable detection.

Environmental Monitoring: Measures temperature, humidity, and air pressure to monitor forest health and microclimate.

Maintenance-Free: Operates for 10-15 years with no need for regular maintenance, thanks to supercapacitors (no toxic batteries).

Wireless Communication: Utilizes LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power wireless data transmission.

Silvanet Cloud Platform

The Silvanet Cloud Platform is an integrated, web-based tool that simplifies deployment, device management, monitoring, and alert management for wildfire detection. It provides users with predictive insights into fire risks, along with tools for optimizing forest health and growth.

Key Features:

Deployment Planning: Automated tools for gateway and sensor positioning.

Site Health Monitoring: Tracks temperature, humidity, and air pressure, providing a holistic view of forest conditions.

Fire Risk Prediction: Offers insights into potential fire risks.

Multi-Channel Alerts: Sends notifications via in-app messages, emails, and push notifications.

Seamless Integration: Compatible with third-party systems for robust performance.

Silvanet Mesh Gateway

The Mesh Gateway extends the coverage of the Silvanet network, making it suitable for large-scale deployments. It communicates via LoRa, enabling connectivity for wildfire sensors even in remote, off-grid areas.

Key Features:

Large-Scale Coverage: Expands the network range with a self-healing, multi-hop LoRaWAN mesh network.

Solar-Powered: Built-in solar panels and supercapacitors provide reliable off-grid operation.

Satellite Connectivity: Available in Europe and North America for areas without mobile network coverage.

Maintenance-Free: Operates for 10-15 years without requiring battery replacements.

Silvanet Border Gateway

The Border Gateway serves as the central communication hub for the Silvanet network, connecting the Mesh Gateways and relaying wildfire sensor data to the Silvanet Cloud Platform. It supports multiple connectivity options, including 4G, 2G, and satellite, ensuring reliable communication in all conditions.

Key Features:

Multiple Connectivity Options: 4G (LTE-M/NB-IoT), 2G (GPRS), Ethernet, and satellite (Europe/North America).

Remote Area Support: Satellite connectivity ensures communication even in the most isolated forest regions.

Robust Power Options: Can be mains powered (via PoE) or solar-powered.

Environmental and Cost Benefits

Prevents Economic Losses: Early fire detection can significantly reduce damage, lowering costs for firefighting and insurance.

Forest Health and Growth Monitoring: Optimizes tree growth, fights diseases, and combats droughts.

Environmental Protection: By detecting fires early, the solution reduces the impact on wildlife, ecosystems, and the environment.
