How does Silvanet Work?

Silvanet is a wireless forest monitoring system built on a LoRa-based mesh network to connect wildfire sensors deep within forests to the cloud via Gateways. These sensors detect environmental changes and fire indicators, and transmit this data wirelessly to a cloud platform.

 Key Functions

• Wildfire Detection
  Detects early-stage fires through gas, temperature, and humidity sensors.

• Mesh Communication
  Devices communicate through Mesh Gateways over LoRaWAN using a self-healing, energy-efficient network.

• Cloud Integration
  All sensor data is transmitted securely to the Silvanet Cloud, where alerts and insights are generated.

• Real-Time Alerts
  Automated alerts are sent to authorized users via email or integrated systems.

 End-to-End Data Flow

Here’s how data travels from forest to user:

1. Sensor detects early fire indicators

2. Data sent via Mesh Gateway → Border Gateway

3. Border Gateway connects to the internet (via LTE or Ethernet)

4. Data processed and alerts triggered in the Silvanet Cloud

5. Notifications sent to users and platforms in real-time

 Key Benefits

• Detects fires within minutes

• Requires no grid power

• Covers vast areas using solar-powered infrastructure

• Reduces false alarms through multi-sensor logic
