In September 2022, the first “Rapid Deployment” of 2 Wild Waggle Nodes were deployed at the University of Utah’s Taft-Nicholson Center in rural Montana. This was the first deployment making use of the ARE Telecom ballasted foundation towers and Starlink uplink, showcasing how Sage node’s can be deployed to the edge in under 24 hours. […]
Sage NEON deployment to the Konza LTER site in Kansas
In April 2022, 4 Sage nodes (3 Wild Waggle Nodes and 1 Waggle Blade Node) were deployed with an array of sensors (thermographic camera, air quality sensor, etc.) to collect data to better our understanding of smoke and wildfire detection. Thermal imaging was used to understand how air temperature can be used to detect smoke […]
