OBX-750E

OBX-750E: Ocean Bottom Recorder

PRODUCT DETAILS

The OBX-750E is a seabed ocean bottom wireless seismic data acquisition node with a maximum operating depth of 750 meters. Nodes can be deployed in shallow offshore waters and transition zones, which include estuaries, marsh wetlands, and freshwater environments, such as rivers and lakes. Once deployed, the OBX-750E can collect seismic data continuously for up to 60 days.
