Using NFC with Silvanet Gateways

When you're out in the forest deploying wildfire sensors, time and simplicity matter. That’s where NFC (Near Field Communication) comes in.

What does it do? 

NFC lets you configure and register a Dryad Gateway simply by tapping it with your smartphone or tablet using the Silvanet app. No cables, no complex menus, just hold your phone close and the gateway is securely onboarded into the network.

Why does it matter?

Because in many deployments, connectivity is limited and conditions are tough. With NFC, you can:

• Quickly set up gateways on-site, even without internet

• Provision and diagnose devices without opening them up

• Get real-time feedback during installation

In short, NFC makes your deployment faster, easier and more reliable.

It’s a small feature designed to remove friction and deliver a smoother, smarter installation experience. Just tap, configure, and move on to the next node, the forest isn’t waiting.
