Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves produced by earthquakes (passive) or explosions (active). A typical instrumentation deployment involves hundreds or even thousands of equally distributed data‐loggers, reading from geophones, that sample typically between 250 and 2000 Hz in a synchronized manner. This data is streamed outside the data‐logger network for postexperiment processing. In this letter, we evaluate the suitability of IETF 6TiSCH technology for a standards‐based real‐time data streaming solution, and highlight the benefits of standardization in this market sector.
