Abstract
Networks of data acquisition modules may include wireless and cabled networks. The data acquisition modules may include no antennas, one antenna, or two antennas. The antennas may be removable from a port on the data acquisition node allowing a common module design between the wireless and cabled networks. A rigid shell with arms may be constructed to house the antennas and a cable connector. The rigid shell may protect the antennas during transport, installation, and use of the data acquisition modules. For example, when driving a module into the ground, the rigid shell may prevent damage to the antennas.
