Vancouver’s SenseNet, a global leader in early wildfire detection and management, has partnered with iez! Telecom, a key supplier of telecommunications infrastructure in Brazil, to deploy an AI-powered solution for wildfire prevention across the country’s vast vegetation zones.
This collaboration sets a global benchmark in wildfire management by combining SenseNet’s advanced detection technology with iez!’s robust connectivity infrastructure.
SenseNet’s system, which is already in use in over two dozen Canadian communities through Rogers’ 5G network, will now leverage iez!’s MESH communication network and private 4G and 5G networks in Brazil.

“We are very excited to partner with Brazil’s leading telecommunications provider to provide the most technologically advanced and comprehensive ultra-early fire detection solution, adapted to Brazil’s unique challenges with protecting rural, agricultural lands, and municipalities,” said Hamed Noori, CEO and Co-Founder of SenseNet.
Using AI integration, high-precision long-range cameras, and ground sensors that measure changes in gas levels, temperature, and humidity, SenseNet’s system can detect early fire outbreaks—including smouldering fires—within a minute.
The technology is set to play a crucial role in safeguarding Brazil’s agribusiness sector, which spans a third of the country’s landmass and significantly contributes to its economy. States, municipalities, and private enterprises will be able to utilize the system to protect plantations, pastures, environmental reserves, and critical infrastructure.
“The market is increasingly looking for intelligent solutions, and we are ready to meet this demand with a differentiated offer,” said Diogo Câmara, Executive Director of Retail and Wholesale at iez! Telecom. “This technology is not just a fire protection tool, but a real competitive advantage for companies that value operational safety, environmental preservation, and sustainability.”
The first AI-based wildfire detection solutions are already in development for rapid deployment, with the potential for widespread adoption across Brazil.
