Silvanet Wildfire Solution
Dryad Silvanet is a complete solution for early bush fire detection, along with forest management, growth and health and monitoring.
AI Wildfire Detection
Dryad use a large-scale IoT network of sensors to detect wildfires and to provide valuable forest insights and analytics.
Silvanet is a wireless environmental sensor network based on LoRaWAN: the leading open-standard for long-range radio IoT networks. Dryad’s patent-pending distributed architecture enables large-scale deployments in areas without existing network coverage. Data collected in the network is processed using cloud-based big data tools for analytics, monitoring and alerting.
The Silvanet wildfire solution is comprised of:
Silvanet Wildfire Sensor
designed for ultra-early detection, identifying forest fires within minutes to minimise damage and impact.
Mesh Gateway
expands the Silvanet Network for large-scale deployments.
Border Gateway
connects the Mesh Gateways and relays messages from Silvanet Wildfire Sensors to the Silvanet Cloud Platform. For remote locations lacking mobile network coverage, the Silvanet Border Gateway incorporates satellite connectivity, ensuring reliable communication in even the most isolated areas.
Cloud Platform
an all-in-one web app offering an integrated suite of tools including deployment planning, device management, site health monitoring, and alert management.
Silvanet Specifications
Silvanet Wildfire Sensor:
Ultra-early fire detector that identifies forest fires within minutes
Highly-sensitive gas detection (Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and other gasses) with built-in AI to ensure accurate fire detection and minimise false alarms
Monitors microclimate conditions by measuring temperature, humidity, and air pressure
Solar-powered
Rugged build – IP67 rated
Uses LoRaWAN for wireless data transmission
Operates maintenance-free for 10 years
Mesh Gateway:
Distributed LoRaWAN® gateway
Extends LoRaWAN networks to large areas
Solar-powered: ensures off-grid operations even in very remote locations

Speed Matters
Silvanet is a forest fire early warning system
When it comes to wildfires, time is of the essence. Dryad Silvanet is a forest fire early warning system, sensing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gases emitted by pyrolysis in the early stages of a wildfire, giving fire fighters valuable time and a chance to extinguish the fire before it spreads out of control.
