DRYAD
Silvanet Wildfire Solution
Dryad Silvanet is a complete solution for early bush fire detection, along with forest management, growth and health & monitoring.
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.
Turn early detection into early action.

Silvanet Mesh Network Architecture
The Silvanet Mesh Network Architecture connects a network of solar-powered sensors through multi-hop mesh gateways,
feeding real-time data back to a central border gateway and into the cloud platform. This fully autonomous system enables early wildfire detection,
continuous site monitoring and seamless scalability across wide, remote landscapes - without relying on existing infrastructure.
WHAT DOES THE SUITE INCLUDE
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.
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 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.
Your site is unique. Your wildfire strategy should be too.
We'll map your landscape, sensor density and gateway layout - so you know exactly what's required.
