Rogers and SpaceX Launch Wildfire Detection Initiative in BC

Canadian communications and media company Rogers has collaborated with SpaceX and Pano AI to implement advanced wildfire detection technology in British Columbia. Utilizing Swarm, SpaceX’s Internet-of-Things connectivity service, Rogers will install satellite-connected sensors and Pano AI cameras capable of detecting smoke up to 20km away on wireless towers, allowing real-time monitoring of remote areas for early wildfire detection. This initiative aims to aid British Columbia Wildfire Service and the University of British Columbia in wildfire indicators monitoring.
