The Internet Accelerograph IA-2 expands the era of its predecessor IA-1. It complements specific needs in the urban seismic research and engineering, which requires a high spatial density of seismic instruments.
The state of the art, all-in-one IA-2 offers a substantially cost efficient solution for the specific projects it is used in. Since the instrument and communication design takes advantage of the latest micro electronic technology in design and the existing Internet infrastructure for station management, data retrieval and event-reporting; network operating costs drop to a small fraction of conventional strong-motion networks.
