Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geophysical exploration technology, and in particular to a 4G seismic node instrument. Background Technology
[0002] The biggest problem with traditional seismic nodal instruments compared to wired acquisition equipment is their poor data real-time performance. Typically, the quality of the acquired seismic data can only be determined after the acquisition task at the designated location is completed, the instrument is retrieved to the acquisition camp, and the data is collected. This "nodal acquisition anxiety" has become a major challenge for exploration data acquisition using seismic nodal instruments. With the widespread coverage of mobile communication networks, many exploration areas now have 4G network coverage. However, because traditional seismic nodal instruments lack 4G communication capabilities, they cannot utilize 4G networks for real-time data transmission.
