Silvanet Deployment App
Redesigned Silvanet Deployment app
We have completely redesigned our Silvanet Deployment app. You can now visualize your entire deployment planning at once and filter the devices on the map according to your needs. We have improved our Connectivity Test feature for the gateways and integrated in-app deployment guidelines and troubleshooting. Once you have deployed a device, you can edit its coordinates and add notes directly on the Device Details page.
Device List and Filtering
This new version allows you to visualize the complete device list of your site and to filter the list by device type, status or Deployment Packet.
Improved Connectivity Test
The Connectivity Test now displays an accurate “Remaining Time” counter. Also, the Connectivity Test results are now synchronized among all team members' Smartphones.
Deployment Guidelines and Troubleshooting
This new version provides Deployment Guidelines to ensure installers properly deploy Silvanet devices. It also provides Troubleshooting Guides to give assist installers when performing connectivity tests during deployment.
Device Details
You can now access the Device Details page after deploying a device to check its status, edit its coordinates or add a note.
Silvanet Site Management app
We have extended the capabilities of our Planning tool. You can now manually add or remove any type of device and edit their name or location for a precise site planning. Once the planning is complete you can release the Deployment Plan and access it in the Silvanet Deployment app to deploy your devices.
Manually add or remove any type of device and edit any device’s name and location for precise Site planning.
When releasing Deployment Plans, if the tool encounters planning errors, it provides warnings as well as troubleshooting guides to fix the errors. Once all errors have been resolved, the tool allows you to release the Deployment Plan.
Once the Deployment Plan has been released, you can access it directly in the Deployment app.
Silvanet Site Management app
We have released a completely redesigned Site Management view. This redesign offers you a more intuitive understanding of your site’s health, as well as crucial information related to your devices. The overall user experience has been revamped to make it even more easier for you to navigate through your site, whether using the device overview or the map.
Enhanced Device Overview: You can now visualize device connectivity strength, energy level, and firmware version, directly from the device overview.
Advanced Troubleshooting: Your devices are autonomously monitored and the device overview provides you with precise troubleshooting guides in case of issues.
Optimized Site Management Layout: Combined with the 3D map, the new layout of the Site Management view allows you navigate more easily from one device to another.
Silvanet Site Management app
We have released a Beta version of our new Planning tool in the Site Management app. This new feature allows you to estimate quickly and precisely the number of sensors and gateways needed to protect a desired area or asset. This new tool lets you enter paths and areas you want to protect and takes into account terrain elevation and line of sight prediction to help you place gateways and verify their mesh network coverage.
As this new feature will evolve as we add even more features, we welcome feedback that would assist us in fulfilling your requirements.

Release Notes - 05.03.24
Silvanet Site Management app
We have improved our Site Map feature with an immersive 3D capability. Using the Map tools, you can now observe your deployed devices on an elevated terrain by tilting and rotating the map to navigate through your site.
We have also released an additional Map layer that displays hillside shading and contour lines. This allows for easier identification of changes in elevation throughout the deployment areas of a Site.

Silvanet Deployment App (iOS only)
We've heard your feedback and enhanced the User Management view. In this release we have introduced role-based user management:
Admin role: Admin users are responsible for team organization. Admins can invite new users, edit user information and independently create new sites.
Standard User role: Standard users have access to the platform, can view the User Management overview and update their name and contact details. They cannot edit other users' details or invite new users.
In addition, we've revamped the User Management view to allow contact details of individuals to be added and made visible to all users.
The following table shows an overview of the roles and rights:

Users with an Admin role can now independently create new sites. While we are working on the ability to disable and delete existing sites, be mindful that creating too many sites generates clutter in the Dashboard Overview and may result in potential confusion in the workflow.
In this release we added a new feature in the Silvanet Deployment app that lets users check the connectivity of the gateways during the deployment.
Directly from the mobile app, you can now trigger a connectivity test on the gateway you are deploying and know immediately if the chosen location is suitable.

Other minor fixes
We have added a new landing page that allows you to have a better overview of your Sites and Deployments. It includes information on the number of sensors and gateways allocated to each site. It also improves navigation to specific sites.
You now have the power to invite users to our platform independently. Simply provide their basic information, including their name and email address, and we will send them an invitation via email complete with a link to join our application.
With this initial release all users will have the same access level categorized as "Standard User." However, we're happy to share that more roles and permissions are on the horizon. In the upcoming release, you'll have the ability to organize your team(s) better using multiple access levels and also create and manage new sites independently. We are committed to delivering this improvement by the end of the year.
We also improved the way deployment packets work to give you more flexibility and autonomy on the field - Packets are no longer assigned to an individual user. This means easier access and collaboration for everyone.
Once a packet has been created, it is automatically accessible to all the users of the site. With our mobile app, you can browse through all the packets of your site and select the one you or your team will deploy.
Last minute change of plans? Simply go back on the mobile app and select an alternative packet for deployment.
To access the latest features, open the Play Store on your Android device, search for our app Silvanet Deployment, and select Update to install the newest version.
Deployment Planning Map: The map is now centered around the device you are placing, providing a more intuitive experience.
Device Data Graph: The time frames of the graphs will no longer be fixed, offering clarity when observing the graphs for extended periods.
Fire Alerts: We've addressed multiple issues related to false alerts. This includes the implementation of an enhanced Machine Learning Model and improvements in how alerts are counted and visualized on the web application.
