Ensure you have the right tools to deploy Silvanet Gateways and Wildfire Sensors.
Provide a 16-foot (5 meter) ladder for installing sensors and gateways. A folding ladder is easier to carry through the uneven ground of a forest.
Provide a workbox or backpack for carrying devices, depending on how many and type of devices are planned for a day's deployment.
Provide at least the following tools for device deployment:
Knife and shears (snips) for trimming branches (if required) and for cutting lengths of garden wire
Small axe or chisel for removing small sections of the outer bark
Compass (analogue or an app on the Smartphone)
Cordless drill for drilling holes for treenails (min 18V) and backup battery pack
10 mm wood drill bit and an (optional) 6 mm wood drill bit to drill a pilot hole to prevent splitting, especially with hardwood trees
Hammer for treenails
17 mm wrench for the U-clamp bolts
Pencil and notepad
Backup power supply for Smartphones
Bring sturdy footwear for walking through forests and climbing rocks (as well as climbing the ladder to mount the devices).
