Wireless network technology application in seismic data acquisition systems.
This paper provides an analysis of modern wireless network technologies, which are applicable for land seismic acquisition systems. Design aspects of wireless networks in the ISM radio band are considered in case of complex landscape including forestland and in the presence of significant radiosignal attenuation. Special attention is given to possibility of developing a selfcontained supply radiomodule, which transmits data from geophones and possibility of real-time monitoring of seismic exploration data.
