Abstract: Data acquisition modules and systems including batteries with integrated data storage. The battery with integrated data storage can be selectively removed from the data acquisition module. This allows for reduced logistical effort associated with data retrieval and battery charging. For instance, the entire data acquisition module need not be transported to a central location for data recovery and charging, but rather the removable battery with integrated storage may be removed and transported. Also facilitated is extended surveys in that the battery or storage module may be replaced, such that survey design limitations such as storage capacity or battery life may be eliminated.

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 (301) are arranged in lines. Base station modules (302) receive information from the lines and relay the information to a central control and recording system (303). Radio links operating on multiple frequencies (F1-F12) are used by the modules (301). For improved data transfer rate, radio links from a remote module (301) leap past the nearest remote module to the next module closer to the base station.
