4. Product Overview
The STRYDE Node is an entirely sealed, self-contained nodal recording sensor. The unit uses
wireless data transmission through an optical link and wireless battery charging through an
inductive coil. The optical transmitter is low-energy and considered not hazardous to people
nor animals. The battery is a single Li-Ion cell, and charging is done by system specific battery
chargers. The Node stores the acquired data internally and contains a GNSS receiver system
(GPS/GLONASS) for time synchronization.

6. Operation
Operation of the Node shall be carried out by trained personnel familiar with the STRYDE
system.
In a typical deployment cycle, the Node is transported from the local operations hub to the
field location where it is initialized and deployed into the ground. It is left in the ground for
days to weeks, acquiring seismic data. The Node is eventually picked up, de-initialized and
transported back to the hub where it is cleaned and calibrated. The battery is charged, and
simultaneously data is extracted and finally erased from Node memory. Having completed
these process steps, the unit is ready for re-deployment in the field.
