When it comes to wildfires, time is of the essence. A solution is needed that detects fires early by detecting smoke, hydrogen and other gases released by pyrolysis in the early stages of a wildfire, buying firefighters valuable time to extinguish the fire before it spreads out of control. Our BME688 sensor can detect forest fires before they develop into open fires by measuring various gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

NextNav (Nasdaq: NN), a leader in next generation GPS, today announced a partnership with Bosch Sensortec, the leading provider in sensing solutions for consumer electronics, to enable more precise vertical location in barometric pressure sensors. Bosch Sensortec’s barometric pressure sensors will undergo rigorous testing through the NextNav Certified program to certify their accuracy and performance meet stringent standards across a variety of use cases.
