What is the Silvanet Border Gateway and How Does it Work?

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) and Ethernet (PoE).

The Silvanet Border Gateway ensures reliable communication through mobile or wired networks and can be mains powered via PoE or operated using the included solar cells, making it suitable for remote forest environments with limited infrastructure.
