Sensor range
Wildfire Sensors detect gases of a smoldering fire in its ultra-early stage within a range of between 80 m to 100 m around the Sensor. The maximum range between the Sensor and a Mesh Gateway is 1 km.

The Silvanet Network supports any number of Wildfire Sensors through the use of the Silvanet Mesh Network. However, this support is possible only if range and ratio values are followed. The Planning tool takes into account these range and ratio values when preparing a deployment plan.
Gas detection range is 80 m to 100 m (260 ft to 320 ft)
Depending on the topology and density of the forest, the Silvanet Wildfire sensor can detect gases, especially Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), in the surrounding air within a radius of 80 m to 100 m (260 ft to 320 ft). It can also detect smoke from a smoldering fire that drifts into its detection zone from beyond the gas detection range.
Site topology and range Range values are dependent on the Site topology such as hills, valleys, density of trees and structures in the forest deployment locations.
Maximum distance to a Mesh Gateway is 1 km
Sensors communicate with Mesh Gateways and Border Gateways that are approximately 1 km away from the sensor, depending on topology. In dense forests, the range may be less while direct line of sight to the Mesh Gateway may have a longer range.
