Quantum
SEISMIC MADE SIMPLE.
The Quantum recording system is based on a wireless platform without radio infrastructure. Developed in collaboration with Innoseis, it is the lightest nodal unit in the market today.
Did you know
Quantum’s single-point sensor node offers a large surface area and a strong geophone spike and can be buried to improve coupling and reduce environmental noise.
Quantum is the smallest and lightest, all in-one node in the industry.
Need to survey an area for a couple of months? A Quantum node can run for up to 100 days before recharging.
Operational Benefits
You asked for a lightweight, ultra-low power, broadband autonomous node system. We delivered Quantum with our strategic partner, Innoseis.
In 2017 we announced a strategic collaboration with Innoseis, the inventors of the Tremornet node, to jointly develop a world-leading nodal system capable of handling high-density, high-productivity seismic acquisition. A quantum leap for the industry, this nodal system offers some unique features to conduct high-resolution, wide azimuth seismic surveys and with the highest productivity.
Highlights
ix1
The Quantum wireless sensor network is powered by INOVA's’s iX1 software, an operating system for seismic acquisition that simplifies field operations and greatly reduces the inefficiencies of master/slave hybrid programs.iX1 consolidates source control and spread management into one comprehensive view for the Observer. It also enables single command and control over hybrid nodal and cable-based operations between G3i HD and Quantum or Hawk. Best of all, the iX1 console offers a module for nodal data downloading, transcription and management. One platform does it all.

It’s all inside.
Packed within a watertight enclosure, each Quantum node has the intelligence, power, sensor and Bluetooth capabilities to handle high-density seismic acquisition. Don’t worry; it only weighs 650 grams (1.43 lbs).
Faster Deployment
No need to connect an external battery or geophone string, and no magnetic swiping to power on the unit. Simply twist, verify the status via LED indicator, plant upright and go. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
Battery Management
50 days of continuous recording or 100 days of 12-hour recording -our ultra-low power design makes life easier for your crew. When a unit needs to be charged,you simply place it in the charging rack and within 3 hours, you’re back in business.
A Better Image
Compared to other wireless sensor networks, the Quantum offers the high dynamic range (up to 127 dB). The dynamic range of an instrument indicates the strongest and weakest signals that can be recorded without distortion. Due to Quantum’s design, an analog signal is almost immediately received and converted to digital at the time of recording. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio, reduces the risk of ambient noise contamination on the record, and provides the necessary range to capture high-quality broadband data.
G3i HD Cable System Integration
Two systems, one dataset -beautiful harmony. Say goodbye to the frustration of managing two recording systems for the same survey. INOVA’s G3i HDand Quantum are fully integrated so you can deliver one seamless SEG-Y or SEG-D dataset to your clients. The onboard iX1 software in all Inova recording systems allows you to manage the entire spread, and reflects both cable and nodal ground units on a single, intuitive display. Observers have full command and control over operations, so they can quickly QC and manage data, sources and spread diagnostics in one location.
Mixed Source
It’s common to have surveys over a large area where terrain varies and dictates the use of vibs or dynamite. Quantum supports both energy sources and offers an intuitive source QC functionality through the onboard iX1 software.
HPVS Support
Quantum powered by iX1 softwaresupports most high productivity vibroseis survey designs including dynamic slip-sweep, distance separated sweeping (DS3and DS4), independent sweeping (ISS) and HFVS.
Vib Logistics Management
Running several fleets of vibrators simultaneously poses significant HSE and source management challenges. Being able to visualize the locations of the vibrators on the spread requires onboard navigation systems that communicate directly with the recorder. Inova vibrators can be outfitted with Connex Viband Vib Pro HDwhich are fully integrated and supported in the Quantum central recorder.
