History

[edit]

SenseNet, established in 2019, is a Vancouver-based technology company specializing in advanced wildfire detection and management systems.

In August 2024, SenseNet partnered with Rogers Communications to introduce AI-powered wildfire detection technology to communities across Canada, starting in Alberta and British Columbia [4][5][6]. This collaboration aimed to enhance public safety and environmental protection by leveraging SenseNet’s advanced detection systems integrated with Rogers’ telecommunications infrastructure[7][8].

In October 2024, SenseNet expanded its reach by partnering with BluEarth Renewables to install a comprehensive network of sensors and cameras for early wildfire detection at BluEarth’s Tyson Creek Hydro Facility. This installation assisting in the early detection and notification of wildfires in very remote area[9].

SenseNet’s technology has been tested in various locations, including Vernon, British Columbia, where it demonstrated the capability to detect fires within 36 seconds of ignition [10][11]. The company’s innovative approach combines AI, sensors, cameras, and satellite data to provide accurate and early alerts for wildfires, contributing to proactive wildfire management and community safety[12].
