# Coverage planning

The **Site Management app** provides a **Planning tool** for rapidly estimating the number and placement of Silvanet devices  to provide fire-detection coverage for a Site, .

You can begin by importing **KMZ, KMZ and Shapefiles** into the Planning tool, then create high Sensor density **Paths**, lower Sensor density **Areas** and **Connectivity zones** called **Connectivity Meshes**.

Once completed, export the plan as a document (.docx) and release it as a set if Packages to the Deployment app for deploying the Silvanet devices in the Site.
