RAU-3 UNITE units offer enhanced flexibility and can easily be configured to record either 1-C or 3-C analog data, while offering the main advantages of the UNITE system. The system’s unique high-speed, long-range wireless capability improves in-field quality control of data acquisition by providing wireless harvesting and real-time data transfer.

This UNITE sale also represents the first purchase of Sercel equipment by PanAmerican, whose operating companies are leading providers in their local markets of Colombia, Canada and Argentina. The UNITE system is scheduled to be deployed on a seismic survey in the Amazon in late October.

Mark Farine, CEO, PanAmerican Geophysical, said: "We are very pleased to place our order with Sercel for our first UNITE acquisition system. The ability for real-time quality control, the radio harvesting and the seamless integration into the Sercel 428XL were key drivers in our decision to purchase the UNITE System. The security of the real-time quality control coupled with the automation afforded with radio harvesting will provide operational efficiency to PanAmerican."

Pascal Rouiller, CEO, Sercel, said: "We are delighted that Sercel’s state-of-the-art UNITE system has been selected by PanAmerican to equip their new crew and we thank them for their support. UNITE offers an unprecedented level of operational flexibility and quality control, which will ensure PanAmerican achieves success even in difficult terrain."
