  • Implementing a network infrastructure in a seismic acquisition system
    Patent number: 7898904
    Abstract: A method and apparatus implementing a network infrastructure in a seismic acquisition system are disclosed. The apparatus is a seismic acquisition system, comprising a plurality of seismic data sources (120) capable of generating data; at least one data collection system (140) utilizing an open network protocol; and at least one line network (300) connecting the data sources to the data collection system and utilizing an open network protocol. The line network (300) includes a plurality of data source nodes (130) at which a portion of the plurality of seismic data sources are respectively attached to the line network; and a router (135) for routing data generated by the seismic data sources (120) to the data collection system (140) through the data source nodes (130) in accordance with the open network protocol.
