TECHNOLOGY
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.
STANDARDS
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.
Distributed mesh network, solar-powered, specifically designed for large-scale deployments in forests.
DISTRIBUTED
Our scalable, distributed architecture supports millions of low-cost sensors.
Ideal for nationwide or continent-wide sensor networks.
Perfect for deploying IoT environmental sensors, such as temperature, humidity, and gas sensors.
ANALYTICS
Cloud-based big data tools provide solutions for analysis, monitoring, and alerting.
Ultra-early detection of wildfires during the all-important smoldering phase.
Actionable insights and tools for forest owners to make better decisions.
ABOUT DRYAD
We use a large-scale IoT network of sensors to detect wildfires and to provide valuable forest insights and analytics.
OUR STORY
After several successful startups and exits in IT, electronics and telecommunications, we now want to apply our expertise to solve real-world problems. 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.
OUR MISSION
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.
OUR 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.
INDUSTRIES
Our technology offers a wide range of use cases and delivers significant value across various sectors.
Protect your vital natural assets and ecosystems with our revolutionary Silvanet wildfire detection technology.
When it comes to fighting wildfires, speed is everything. Silvanet detects fires during their early smoldering phase enabling response teams to extinguish them easily and safely.
Power and transport infrastructure is a leading cause of wildfires. Protect against liabilities with our cost-effective, scalable and durable solution.
Our technology is highly adaptable to various needs and use-cases, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any other enquiries.
FUTURE APPLICATIONS
While our initial focus is the Silvanet forest fire protection system, our roadmap includes a portfolio of applications including chainsaw & gunshot detection, fuel-moisture, soil moisture sap-flow and a dendrometer to measure tree growth and carbon sequestration. Our vision includes the Silvaguard autonomous drone to act on events triggered by Silvanet.
We have several live R&D projects looking at future applications for the digital forest.
