We move seismology to the edge
We advance seismic sensor technology and real-time analytical capabilities for continuous monitoring and analysis of seismic activity, enabling faster and more informed decision-making in response to earthquakes and infrastructure monitoring.

Our story
SeismiQ grew out of a recurring frustration. As passionate seismologists at the German Research Centre for Geociences (GFZ) Potsdam, we spent years deploying sensor networks that demanded constant site visits, generated mountains of raw waveforms to ship to a central server, and locked us into proprietary software the moment something non-standard needed doing.
So we built what we needed: a sensor that processes signals at the edge, manages itself remotely, and speaks every open standard that seismologists already use. The first deployments ran at GFZ and in collaboration with NIED Japan and ETH Zürich. The feedback shaped every subsequent iteration.
Today, more than 200 SeismiQ sensors are operating across research networks, geothermal sites, and civil protection infrastructure in Europe and Asia. The two founding seismologists still write code and answer support tickets – because the quality of what we build depends on staying close to the problems our customers face every day.
