News: Setting Standards with the new GMSplus and AC-73

The GeoSIG technical team has been hard at work over the past months to extend the specification of our flagship GMS/NetQuakes Recorder and our Accelerometer range.

These efforts resulted in designing two high specification products which their release is timed to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of GeoSIG which is one of the major manufacturers of Earthquake, Seismic, Structural, Dynamic and Static Monitoring and Measuring Products and Solutions.

GeoSIG is proud to look back at its 20 years of history which has seen continuous innovation and development of many new products and solutions which are operational throughout the world.
