Silvanet System

The Silvanet System consists of a combination of hardware and software:

  • Silvanet Mesh Network: Consists of any number of Mesh Gateways that forward messages from sensors and other Mesh Gateways from deep within forests to one or more Border Gateways.

    • Silvanet Border Gateway: Relays messages between sensors and the Silvanet Cloud using the Silvanet Mesh Network. Connectivity to the Silvanet Cloud is via Ethernet, mobile networks or satellite.

    • Silvanet Mesh Gateway: Proprietary gateway that provides range extending capabilities by using the same network as the sensors to receive and forward messages on to other Mesh Gateways and/or Border Gateways.

    • Silvanet Wildfire Sensor: Attached directly to trees to detect environmental air quality within a radius of 80 m to 100 m (260 to 320 ft).

  • Silvanet Cloud Platform: Data sent from the Silvanet gateways are sent via the Internet to the Silvanet Cloud Platform, which is then provided to the Silvanet apps.

    • Silvanet Site Management app: Runs in a browser to prepare and manage Sites. When one or more sensors detect a fire, it displays fire alerts for users to take decisive action to put out fires.

    • Silvanet Deployment app: Runs on a Smartphone which allows users to locate and deploy Silvanet devices at their respective planned deployment locations.
