# Site Planning

- [Plan Sites](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/overvew.md): Learn how to use the Planning tool to generate a coverage estimation for a Site.
- [Planning guidelines](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines.md): Guidelines for planning Border Gateways, Mesh Gateways and Wildfire Sensors locations in a Site.
- [Deployments stages](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/deployment-stages.md): Validate the scalability of the Silvanet System using a Pilot deployment followed by a full-scale Live deployment.
- [Scout deployment locations](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/scouting.md): Dryad recommends visiting the Site prior to planning device locations to make notes about the topology and other features of the Site that might inform where to place Silvanet devices.
- [Gateway ratios](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/gateway-ratios.md): The amount of Mesh Gateways supported by Border Gateways is variable but should not exceed on Border Gateway for every 20 Mesh Gateways.
- [Gateway ranges](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/gateway-ranges.md): Ensure Border Gateways and Mesh Gateways are within specified ranges which is 2.0 km to 3.0 km.
- [Sensor ratios](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/sensor-ratios.md)
- [Sensor range](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/sensor-ranges-ratios.md): 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.
- [Sensor density](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/planning-guidelines/sensor-density-guidelines.md): Plan for variable sensor density based on the level of human activity in or near Sites.
- [Coverage planning](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation.md): Use the Planning tool to quickly generate an estimation of the number and type of Silvanet devices needed to cover a Site.
- [Planning tool](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/planning-tool.md): Learn how to access and use the Planning Tool.
- [Import KML, KMZ and Shapefiles](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/import-kml-kmz-and-shapefiles.md): Build a plan in a third-party tool and import KML, KMZ and Shapefiles into the Planning tool.
- [High density paths](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/high-density-paths.md): Learn how to add paths that typically have a high density of Wildfire Sensors.
- [Low density areas](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/low-density-areas.md): Learn how to add areas that are parts of a Site that typically have a lower density of Wildfire Sensors.
- [Connectivity zones](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/connectivity-zones.md): Learn how to place Border Gateways and Mesh Gateways in a Site to ensure connectivity between the Wildfire Sensors and the Silvanet Cloud.
- [Add or move Sensors](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/sensor-changes.md): Add, delete or change locations of Wildfire Sensors.
- [Export plan](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/coverage-estimation/export-plan.md): After building the deployment plan, export it as a document and release it to the Deployment app.
- [Packet editor](/dryad-documentation/site-planning/packet-editor.md): Packets editor allows you to make modifications to Packets prepared by the Planning tool. Packets can be added or deleted as required.
