Why shouldn’t all nodes be the same?

Not all nodes need to be the same

STRYDE has launched a family of three nodes for land seismic practitioners who need more than one-size-fits-all recording.

In a new GEO EXPRO article, STRYDE’s Tom O'Toole explains the thinking behind Halo - our latest land seismic node family, designed to give acquisition teams the flexibility to match the right node to the right survey environment.

From fully autonomous recording, to wireless node health QC, to dual-clock technology for GNSS-challenged environments, Halo gives seismic teams more choice without adding unnecessary complexity.

Introducing Halo

The complete solution for land seismic exploration.

STRYDE's Halo family of nodes represents the next leap forward in land seismic recording, combining an evolution of the piezoelectric sensor with enhanced electronics and next-generation firmware, to deliver the lowest-noise accelerometer for onshore seismic acquisition without compromising on node size, cost or autonomy.

The Halo family includes three purpose-built node types that work seamlessly together within a single acquisition system, delivering the flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency required for modern high-density onshore seismic surveys.
