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

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 1-10 km depending on the local topology and positioning. 

The Mesh Gateway operates solely on LoRa to communicate with other Mesh Gateways or a Border Gateway, with no need for direct 4G/LTE or wired connections.  

Differentiators

• Extends LoRaWAN networks to large areas
• Solar-powered
• Supercapacitors instead of batteries
• Supports any LoRaWAN-compliant sensors

Features

• Self-healing, automatic failover mesh network
• Firmware Updates Over-the-Air (FUOTA)
