Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for acquiring seismic data using a wireless network and a number of individual data acquisition modules that are configured to collect seismic data and forward data to a central recording and control system. In one implementation, a number of remote modules () are arranged in lines. Base station modules () receive information from the lines and relay the information to a central control and recording system (). Radio links operating on multiple frequencies (F-F) are used by the modules (). For improved data transfer rate, radio links from a remote module () leap past the nearest remote module to the next module closer to the base station.
