      ACCEL

      Just Drop. Connect. Collect.

      Accel is Sercel's onshore drop node, the first land seismic node designed to be dropped on the ground rather than planted or buried. 

      Compact, lightweight and powered by the QuietSeis® MEMS sensor, it enables faster, leaner nodal seismic acquisition and reduces operational costs by up to 30% without compromising data quality.

      The Accel Ecosystem

      Built for Fast Field Operations.

      Accel is more than a node. Its ergonomic deployment package includes:


      • Smart BackPack: carries up to 36 nodes for hands-free deployment on foot

      • Smart Node Basket: stores 12 nodes per basket

      • Rack Module: fast charging and data download in a modular, stackable design

      • Smart Software Suite: streamlined data processing and faster consolidation

      QuietSeis® MEMS Sensor: Broadband Data from a Drop Node

      QuietSeis is the key enabler of Accel's drop node concept. 

      Unlike geophones, whose response depends on manufacturing tolerances, ageing and temperature, QuietSeis delivers a stable broadband response from 0 to 400 Hz and is not affected by data jitter by design.

    • Pathfinder QC: Near Real-Time Node Status

      The integrated Pathfinder QC suite reports each node's status in near real time and supports reliable node retrieval. 

      It needs no additional equipment such as drones or extra antennas.
