Time Synced Precision
Automatically synced to the microsecond through a single topside data stream.

Synchronized Magnetic Gradiometer System

Stockpile a few dozen nodes, grab however many a survey’s parameters may need, connect them and “go.”
Every node is identical and interchangeable. Instead of humans micro-managing sensor relationships, they figure it out independently. One of the sensors takes charge, coordinates data from the network and sends it to the humans topside.
If you add another sensor, the sensor in charge recognizes and integrates the new sensor.
Less downtime can lower on-vessel equipment setup from half a day to half an hour.
