Abstract
A seismic acquisition system divides a survey terrain into a number of cells (14) each containing a cell access node (16) and a number of geophone units (10). The geophone units (10) transmit data in digital form to the respective cell access node (16) by wireless telemetry, and the cell access nodes (16) forward the data to a central control (12) by broadband channels.
