SILVANET MESH GATEWAY
Distributed LoRaWAN® Gateway for Large-Scale Outdoor Networks
Dryad’s LoRaWAN mesh network enables early wildfire detection across vast land areas through distributed LoRaWAN gateways. Integrated with the Silvanet Border Gateway, it provides continuous, 24/7 wildfire monitoring.
The Silvanet Mesh Gateway expands the Silvanet Network for large-scale deployments using a patent-pending multi-hop LoRaWAN mesh network, far beyond the range of standard single-hop gateways.
It connects via LoRa, supporting both Silvanet Wildfire Sensors and third-party devices. In forest environments, the solar-powered Mesh Gateways can cover a radius of 2-10 km depending on the local topology and positioning.
The Mesh Gateway operates solely on LoRa radio to communicate with other Mesh Gateways or a Border Gateway, with no need for direct 4G/LTE or wired connections. The built-in solar panels and satellite connectivity (Europe and North America) ensure off-grid operations even in very remote locations.
