Lyko Information

LYKO was created to answer a specific need expressed by the mining industry. With the automation and computers being used more commonly in the mining industry, the amount of information that has to be carried between the mobile equipment and the fixed installation is rapidly increasing. Telecom manufacturers are tackling this challenge by developing high bandwidth radio systems that can be quickly deployed into the field. Then comes the challenge of providing electrical power to the equipment in difficult conditions. The ever-changing mine layouts often makes it impossible to install permanent structures and the mobile solutions available on the market are not likely to survive the hostile mining terrain and climate. Based on a list of specific requiements expressed by the mining industry, LYKO engineers developed the AMU-900 unit. The AMU-900 has been successfully deployed in several mining sites in northern Quebec (Canada) where temperatures frequently reach - 40 degrees. LYKO products are designed to operate autonomously for several months. Most system parameters can be remotely controlled and monitored which reduces the maintenance visit requirements of the unit. LYKO is is constantly listening to the needs of industry.
