Dryad's Silvanet provides ultra-early detection of wildfires with a network of gas sensors, using AI to detect fires within minutes - as early as the smoldering phase.
Silvanet is a solar-powered mesh network based on LoRaWAN for data transmission, allowing off-grid and maintenance-free operation in remote areas.
While Silvanet can detect wildfires at the very early stages, we also want to develop an innovative approach to also combat them. The XPRIZE competition has inspired us to turn our ideas into action.
We are calling our project 'Florian' after the German patron saint of firefighters.
