# Sensor ratios

## **Ratio of Wildfire Sensors to Mesh Gateways**

**100 sensors to 1 Mesh Gateway**

For every 100 Wildfire Sensors deployed, use at least one Mesh Gateway or more, if necessary. This is dependent on Site topology which may or may not interfere with connectivity to Mesh Gateways.

## **Ratio of Wildfire Sensors to Border Gateways**

**No limit but must be in range:**

The Border Gateway does not have a limit on the number of Wildfire Sensors it can support. However, it can support sensors that are within range of the Border Gateway.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Use of Mesh Gateways**

Do not deploy Wildfire Sensors without the use of Mesh Gateways.
{% endhint %}
