Very High Speed Ordered Mesh Network of Seismic Sensors for Oil and Gas Exploration

Oil and gas exploration requires channeling the input from thousands of portable sensors located over a large geographical area to a central processing station. High data rates and the requirement to support near-real time processing make this a challenging application for a distributed sensor network. This presentation will describe how specific characteristics of the application can be used to advantage in obtaining a high data rate in a distributed wireless environment.
