Edwin Reed-Sanchez, in collaboration with SayCel Technologies Inc., has partnered with Black Rock Forest to implement a pioneering NSF-funded WiFi forest network for environmental research. This innovative initiative, awarded a grant in 2018, has established WiFi hotspots throughout the forest, enabling scientists, academics, and students to engage in comprehensive studies and gather real-time data. The project offers various ways to participate, such as integrating WiFi-enabled sensors, deploying advanced camera technology, and building custom sensor kits with open-source software. By providing accessible resources and instructions, this endeavor encourages individuals to contribute to the research and exploration of Black Rock Forest, driving forward scientific knowledge and environmental understanding.
