Product description

Silvanet is Dryad’s innovative wildfire detection platform that revolutionizes early identification and response to wildfires in natural environments. The system utilizes solar-powered gas sensors equipped with embedded AI to detect combustion gases in their earliest smoldering phase. These sensors are strategically installed across natural landscapes and communicate data via a LoRaWAN-based mesh network to gateways using cellular or satellite links, enabling real-time alerts—including precise geolocation information—within minutes of detection.

The platform also includes cloud analytics for data processing, automated alert routing for efficient response coordination, and seamless integration with dispatch systems for firefighting teams. Silvanet is designed for scalable deployment, ranging from small pilot sites with approximately 400 nodes to national networks, empowering proactive fire management and significantly reducing wildfire risks.

With a proven track record of reliability through global deployments in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, as well as partnerships with prestigious entities like the UK National Trust and US utilities, Silvanet is at the forefront of forest resilience technology. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on enhancing the platform with features such as drone-based suppression, acoustic chainsaw detection, and advanced forest health monitoring, further solidifying its position as a comprehensive tool for ensuring forest sustainability and resilience.
