SILVANET BORDER GATEWAY
Distributed LoRaWAN® Gateway Connecting the Silvanet Cloud Platform
The Silvanet Border Gateway connects the Mesh Gateways and relays messages from Wildfire Sensors to the Silvanet Cloud Platform.
It is installed at the edge of the forest area, typically in a forest house or near a village. Connectivity options include built-in 4G (LTE-M/NB-IOT), 2G (GPRS), built-in Satellite (Europe and North America) and Ethernet (PoE).
For remote locations lacking mobile network coverage, the Silvanet Border Gateway incorporates satellite connectivity, ensuring reliable communication in even the most isolated areas. The Border Gateway can be mains powered (via PoE) or use the included solar cells.
