Dryad Networks has collaborated with Vodafone to bring its wireless environmental sensor network to Spain, supporting the ‘ultra-early’ detection of wildfires across the country. The system can operate in forest environments where the impacts of climate change are more difficult to monitor and could reduce the percentage of area devastated by fire, which, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), rose in Spain to almost 310,000 hectares in the last year. As a world leader in IoT technology, Vodafone will provide the communications infrastructure to support Dryad’s wireless network of sensors, Silvanet. To further test the application of this solution, the security services company will soon complete the first pilot in Spain, carried out with one of its large industrial customers.
Dryad is a cutting-edge solution capable of detecting wildfires within the crucial first 60 minutes of their ignition, significantly enhancing early response efforts. By identifying fires at their earliest stages, Dryad enables authorities and firefighting teams to react much more swiftly, dramatically reducing the reaction time compared to traditional detection methods.
Dryad Silvanet allows to reduce dramatically the reaction time and enables firefighters to extinguish a fire before it spreads out of control. The wireless sensors are solar powered, measuring temperature, humidity and air pressure. Thanks to its sensitive gas sensors, it can detect wildfires even during the smoldering phase. Dryad aims to help protect the world’s largest carbon sink and home for 3/4 of all biodiversity globally. It addresses deforestation and emissions from forest fires which contribute up to 20% of the global CO2 emissions. Dryad will also mitigate the economic damage caused by wildfires, estimated to be at $140bn per year, tapping into a substantial market potential with insurances, forest owners and governments.
