SUGAR LAND, Texas-Tuesday, September 26th 2017 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wireless Seismic, Inc. (WSI), the leading innovator of real-time and cable-free seismic data acquisition systems for the oil and gas industry, announced today the launch of RT3—an ultra-high channel count, onshore seismic recording system featuring WSI’s next-generation radio technology.

RT3 addresses the growing market need to acquire much denser onshore seismic surveys.
