Validate the scalability of the Silvanet System using a Pilot deployment followed by a full-scale Live deployment.
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.
The amount of Mesh Gateways supported by Border Gateways is variable but should not exceed on Border Gateway for every 20 Mesh Gateways.
Ensure Border Gateways and Mesh Gateways are within specified ranges which is 2.0 km to 3.0 km.
Each Mesh Gateway can support up to 100 Wildfire Sensors. Each Border Gateway has no limit on the number of Wildfire Sensors in can support.
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 number of sensors per hectare is dependent on human activity in a Site as well as the presence of WUIs (Wildland Urban Interface) in a Site.
