Quantum®
SEISMIC MADE SIMPLE.
Quantum is an all-in-one nodal system that represents a balanced approach between low cost and high performance. Each node uses wireless technology for status QC providing stakeholders confidence in recording success and reducing the number of personnel and vehicles needed.
Additionally, Quantum comes with an option to enable Accuseis, a digital technology with a MEMS seismic sensor that supports wider bandwidth and higher fidelity delivering the highest quality seismic data.
Quantum’s unique node design allows easy planting to ensure sensor coupling with the ground surface and full burial, which reduces environmental noise and unwanted disturbance. The node is also offered in a version that supports an external sensor allowing receiver coverage across shallow water bodies. These along with all other Quantum nodes are operated from a single user-friendly interface through INOVA’s iX1 control system.
Nodal acquisition systems enhance operational efficiency by eliminating cables, but they lack real-time equipment status awareness. HyperQ mitigates this by providing status quality control from Quantum nodes. SCAN further leverages the HyperQ network by providing Seismic Ambient Noise Monitoring to assess the operational impact of ambient noise on seismic data. SCAN eliminates the need for specialized noise monitoring equipment, improves coverage, and accurately evaluates noise on the spread
Did you know
INOVA introduced the first MEMS seismic sensor, Accuseis, in the late 1990s. Quantum with Accuseis supports wider bandwidth and higher fidelity.
HYPERQ™ reduces crew exposure to field conditions and HSE risk while the operation remains under constant surveillance.
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.
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
iX
iX™ is the command-and-control software platform included in Quantum systems that supports efficient operations through visualization, QC, data management, reporting and analytics.

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.
Easy QC
HyperQ™ enables Quantum nodes to communicate wirelessly to a central location and send operational status of the unit.
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.
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 HD and 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.
Quantum External Connector
The Quantum external connector extends operations across various terrains by supporting 6x2 array, single high-sensitivity geophones and single high-sensitivity marshphones.
HPVS Support
Quantum powered by iX1 software supports 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 HD which are fully integrated and supported in the Quantum central recorder.
