In the demanding world of seismic acquisition, maintaining perfect timing synchronization while extending operational longevity across challenging environments has always been a critical challenge. Allseis addresses this with our intelligent node system, featuring DualSync™ timing technology and integrated low-power Bluetooth connectivity.

ALLSEIS DualSync™ Technology in Desert Environment

Allseis delivers unprecedented resilience, efficiency, and accuracy in the field through intelligent node systems featuring DualSync™ timing technology and integrated low-power Bluetooth connectivity.

Adaptive Timing with DualSync™: No Signal Left Behind

Allseis nodes are equipped with DualSync™, an intelligent timing system that dynamically adapts to satellite signal conditions without compromising data integrity or node endurance.

Intermittent Synchronization Under Clear Skies

When satellite visibility is strong, nodes automatically switch to an intermittent synchronization mode. This drastically reduces power consumption, maximizing battery life for long-duration surveys without sacrificing accuracy.

Continuous Synchronization in Signal-Challenged Environments

In scenarios where nodes are buried by sand, dust, or debris—common across Middle Eastern deserts—the system seamlessly transitions to continuous synchronization, ensuring timing integrity is maintained.

Proven Under Real-World Burial Scenarios

Field-tested in the deserts of Oman and Xinjiang, Allseis nodes have demonstrated flawless synchronization even when buried under 2 meters of sand. This means consistent data quality across diverse terrains and deployment situations.

Nodes Buried Under Sand with GPS Synchronization

Low-Power Bluetooth: Total Visibility and Control at Your Fingertips

Every Allseis node features integrated low-power Bluetooth, enabling a suite of daily field operations that are both contactless and instantaneous.

Pinpoint Node Location

Quickly locate any node across your spread—even through sand, soil, or vegetation—using a handheld device with real-time positioning guidance.

On-Demand Shot Record Review

Pull up a single shot record directly in the field, enabling immediate data validation without needing to retrieve the node or wait for central processing.

Non-Contact Diagnostics & Real-Time Waveform Monitoring

Perform comprehensive node health checks and diagnostics without physical contact. The handheld unit provides real-time waveform display, so you're not just confirming node status—you're visually validating data quality as you walk the line.
