1. A detection and network configuration system comprising:
a plurality of data processing devices;
a network configuration server, the network configuration server comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively connected with the at least one processor, the memory storing computer-executable instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the network configuration server to:
receive a plurality of synchronization and mapping messages from the plurality of data processing devices and a plurality of network gateways over a network for a predetermined period of time;
determine a network architecture based upon the plurality of synchronization and mapping messages, the network architecture including:
a plurality of modes of operation of the plurality of data processing devices;
a plurality of frequency channels for the plurality of data processing devices for transmission of environmental data;
an optimization path; and
an identity of a data processing device for transmission to another data processing device; and
communicate the network architecture to the plurality of data processing devices over the network;
the plurality of network gateways configured to provide a communication interoperability interface between a plurality of network protocols;
a network server for providing network services including data processing, storage, application and device management, and resource sharing, the network server connected to the plurality of network gateways;
wherein the plurality of network protocols includes any one or more of a LoRa (Long Range) network protocol and a LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) network protocol, and wherein the environmental data relates to the presence or absence of a wildfire;
wherein the data processing device automatically selects a network protocol from the plurality of network protocols based on a location of the data processing device and/or a received network protocol received from the other data processing device;
wherein the plurality of data processing devices and the plurality of network gateways are configured to transmit data in a time synchronization, wherein the time synchronization includes reduced idle listening;
wherein the plurality of data processing devices and the plurality of network gateways are configured to transmit data on each of the plurality of frequency channels;
wherein the plurality of data processing devices are configured in a mesh topology.
