QuakeSaver MEMS

New generations of MEMS accelerometers enable mass deployment of connected seismic sensor networks at low cost. The excellent noise performance and frequency bandwidth of our 3-axis MEMS technology is suited for strong motion sensing and and structural health monitoring.

The small form factor is suited for indoor- and off-grid outdoor deployment.
