We use a large-scale IoT network of sensors
to detect wildfires and to provide valuable forest insights and analytics
About DRYAD
At Dryad, we believe in open industry standards to enable integration with a wide range of 3rd party wildfire sensors and extend the range of data provided to our analytics platform.
Our network is based on LoRaWAN, the leading standard for long-range IoT.Open for integration of 3rd party sensors and applications, no single-vendor lock-in. Scalable, distributed architecture supports millions of low-cost sensors.
Witnessing forest fires increasingly threatening the world’s largest carbon sink compelled us to think of innovative solutions to protect our invaluable natural resources by harnessing the power of nature and technology.
Dryad develops a wireless environmental sensor network based on LoRaWAN: the leading open-standard for long-range radio IoT networks. Our patent-pending distributed architecture enables large-scale deployments in areas without existing network coverage. Data collected in the network is processed using cloud-based big data tools for analytics, monitoring and alerting.
In Greek mythology, dryads are tree spirits living in symbiotic relationship with their hosts. Our artificial ‘Dryads’ monitor, analyze and protect forests using cutting-edge technology. Our mission is to tackle wildfires via early detection, monitor the vitality and growth of forests and other vital ecosystems, and to protect and restore the critical natural resources upon which we all depend.
SILVANET SUITE
AI Wildfire Detection

HOW IT WORKS
WILDFIRE SENSOR
Solar-powered sensors with embedded artificial intelligence that measure various gasses, temperature, humidity and air pressure.
MESH GATEWAY
Scalable, distributed LoRaWAN gateways support a wide range of compliant sensors. Enables large-scale deployment of multi-party sensor networks within forests of all types.
BORDER GATEWAY
Enables 24/7 communications with Cloud Platform for constant wildfire detection and forest health monitoring. Connectivity via LTE radio (4G/LTE-M with 2G/GPRS fallback) or inbuilt Ethernet.
CLOUD PLATFORM
Cloud-based big data tools for analytics, monitoring and alerting.
Enables optimal deployment planning and multi-site management.
Highly customizable – wildfire alerts can be provided via web application, SMS, and/or email.
Silvanet provides ultra early forest fire detection, as well as forest health and growth monitoring. It provides actionable insights based on live data gathered from Silvanet Wildfire Sensors and compatible third-party sensors.
Enables firefighters to extinguish wildfires before they spread
- Dramatically reduces costs of firefighting
- Prevents economical damage
- Saves human lives and wildlife
- Reduces risk and insurance
Enables forest owners to monitor health and growth of the forest
- Reliable, repeatable data collection
- More effective forest planning
- Prevent diseases and counter droughts
- Optimize tree growth and ROI
SPEED MATTERS
When it comes to wildfires, time is of the essence.
Our wildfire detection sensors provide ultra-early fire detection, sensing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gases emitted by pyrolysis in the early stages of a wildfire, giving fire fighters valuable time to react and preventing ruinous megafires which are devastating to the environment.
NETWORK
Dryad’s patent-pending distributed LoRaWAN Mesh Gateway enables large scale deployments of a standards-compliant LoRa network in areas without mobile network coverage.
APPLICATIONS
ECOSYSTEMS
Protect your vital natural assets and ecosystems with revolutionary Silvanet fire detection technology.
FIRE FIGHTING
When it comes to fighting fires, speed is everything. Silvanet detects fires in their early phase (simmering fire), allowing response teams to extinguish them easily and safely.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Electricity and transport infrastructure are the main cause of fires. Protect yourself from civil liability with our cost-effective, scalable and durable solution.
