Sustainable forest management solutions deployed by Treevia and Wyld Networks partnership
3 March, 2022 – Wyld Networks has announced a partnership with Treevia to deploy its Internet of Things (IoT) sensor-to-satellite technology with Treevia SmartForest, a digital platform for automated management of forest operations. The combined technologies will create an end-to-end solution to monitor and manage forest assets anywhere in the world.
While there has been an ongoing effort to curb carbon emissions, activities such as poor forest management, deforestation and illegal logging are constant obstacles that get in the way of the world’s climate goals. With a critical need to develop sustainable forest management solutions. Treevia’s technology automates the collection, processing and visualisation of data from forest assets to increase forest productivity and improve sustainability. Treevia monitors key variables in forest environments by automating data collection using high-precision IoT sensors.
With Wyld’s satellite IoT solutions, Treevia will be able to affordably and efficiently collect data from IoT sensors in remote locations at low power, even where there is no cellular connectivity.
“Wyld’s satellite IoT solution will deliver efficiency and scalability as we look to extend our technology to the mass monitoring of tree assets across the globe,” according to Maycow Berbert, CTO of Treevia, based in Brazil. “At present, Treevia monitors over 100,000 hectares of forests and we plan to monitor 1 billion hectares of forests by 2030, one-quarter of the world’s total forest area.”
“Collecting data is vital to improve commercial and sustainable management of global forestry assets,” says Alastair Williamson, CEO of Wyld Networks. “We are delighted to be working with Treevia to solve these data capture challenges with Wyld’s sensor-to-satellite technology and look forward to deploying our solutions globally to support such an important sustainability initiative.”
