G3i® NXT is the latest generation of INOVA’s world class cable acquisition system. It presents an innovative ultra-lightweight design packed with features for optimal efficiency. As the lightest cable acquisition ground electronic on the market, this new system offers seismic contractors and E&P companies a smaller, energy efficient acquisition system that provides real-time data in a robust package.
Built on a field-proven cable architecture and years of G3i® successes, G3i NXT is fully compatible with G3i® HD and provides all the advantages of the G3i technology with over a 50% reduction in weight and 20% reduction in power consumption. Managed by the iX1 control center, it offers key capabilities for efficiency such as high productivity vibroseis (HPVS), dynamic multipath rerouting, HyperSource™ communication, and remote encoder amongst many others.
G3i NXT is the optimal solution for keeping projects rolling in real-time while minimizing operational effort.
G3i® HD was deployed in the largest digital system in the Middle East (240,000 live channels)
In exclusion areas where terrain or regulations prohibit equipment layout, use G3i NXT's LaserLink to transmit point-to-point data wirelessly within 2km line of sight.
The remote acquisition module (RAM) is 70% lighter than its predecessor.
G3i NXT is powered by a robust software called iX1® that consolidates source control and spread management into one simplified view for the Observer. It also enables single command and control over hybrid nodal and cable-based operations with two INOVA systems working together on a survey.
