Satellite technology at the service of fire prevention and detection

Hispasat, in partnership with Pyro, we have developed a comprehensive connectivity and intelligent analysis solution that allows for more effective anticipation, detection, and response to these types of emergencies. This innovative tool combines the power of satellite connectivity with sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence, generating a real social and environmental impact.

Anticipating fire: risk prediction

The best way to fight a fire is to prevent it from happening. That's why our solution allows you to anticipate the risk of fire thanks to a network of environmental sensors deployed at strategic points, which measure key variables such as temperature, humidity, gases, wind, and the accumulation of combustible material. All this information is processed using artificial intelligence models capable of predicting risk scenarios, allowing land managers and communities to act in advance, reinforce prevention, and optimize resources.

Reaction in seconds: early detection

Rapid detection of a fire is critical to prevent it from spreading. Our technology combines surveillance cameras, sensors, and trained AI to identify smoke plumes, flames, or sudden changes in temperature and gases within seconds. This early warning capability, connected via satellite networks, enables an immediate response even in remote areas or without ground coverage.

Remote assessment for accurate decisions

During the early stages of a fire, accurate, real-time information is essential. The BSeed WATCH solution from Hispasat and Pyro enables remote assessment of the situation, providing key data on the evolution of the fire, terrain conditions, and meteorological factors. This strategic overview improves decision-making by enabling more effective resource allocation and intervention route planning.

Real-time support for firefighting operations

Once the operation is activated, satellite connectivity kicks in as a real-time support system. The solution provides up-to-date images, thermal maps, and continuous data to emergency teams, facilitating better coordination and optimization of the resources deployed. This reduces response times, minimizes risks, and improves the effectiveness of the firefighting process.

One of our success stories is the deployment of this solution in Chile's Lago Peñuelas National Reserve, which integrates sensors, a panoramic camera, and a satellite communications system. Through data transfer and combination with video camera images, weather conditions that could cause fires are detected. This generates alerts to emergency agencies and constant monitoring of the current situation in real time.

This solution is the result of a strategic alliance between Hispasat and Pyro, which combines experience in satellite connectivity and the development of intelligent systems to generate a real impact on the protection of the environment and people. Our technology not only improves fire response, but also contributes to creating more resilient and safer territories, even in the most vulnerable areas.
