The WTU-508 is a node ingenious, autonomous, and simple to use. Simply connecting a geophone to record its position and starts the acquisition of the seismic data. These data stored in its internal memory are ready to be collected through a radio communication at very high speed.
The WTU-508 also includes a new technology of transmission owner, the XT-Pathfinder, which allows, without wired connection or additional infrastructure, a quality control in real time with the laboratory of record. XT-Pathfinder provides this function by creating a radio network is able to route all the data quality of the nodes to the laboratory to record, automatically adjusting to all the changes, and minimizing the human resources throughout the mission.
