What Ambra Solution does

Ambra Solution (legal entity Solutions Ambra Inc.) is a privately-held Canadian telecommunications engineering company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, that designs, deploys, and operates private LTE/5G networks for mission-critical industrial environments, with mining as its primary vertical. The company operates an integrated portfolio spanning Ambra Technologies (R&D and software), Ambra Télécom (cellular operator with ITU/CRTC spectrum rights, formerly Ecotel), and Ambra Énergie (autonomous power systems, formerly Lyko, acquired in 2023), unified under a single brand in April 2026.

The core technology stack centers on private 4G/5G network infrastructure engineered for underground and remote industrial sites — covering up to 5 km underground and 20 km above ground per radio, with distributed no-point-of-failure architecture, 12–24 hour battery backup, and 24/7 monitoring. The company's flagship software product is the Intelligent Positioning System (iPS), protected by Canadian Patent #3151848, which uses the same LTE/5G cable that powers communication to locate and track connected devices in real time, eliminating battery-powered beacons and rendering 3D visualizations of the underground environment. Hybrid positioning combines GNSS, RTK corrections, IMU sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, pressure sensors), and recalibration via UWB, LIDAR, or known radio signals. The company also manufactures a suite of rugged hardware (industrial modems, Light Modem iPS, Suitcase LTE Camera, Universal Antenna) for harsh-environment deployment. Technology partnerships with Nokia (Modular Private Wireless), Sandvik (AutoMine integration, tested at Sandvik's Tampere test mine), Ericsson (radio technology), Siyata Mobile (push-to-talk devices), and TASSTA Americas (communication software) form the broader ecosystem.

Ambra generates revenue through a mix of professional services (end-to-end network design, engineering, and deployment), hardware sales (custom rugged devices and antennas), subscription/recurring revenue (iPS software licensing, 24/7 managed network monitoring via solutions like Smartloads), and ongoing multi-year enterprise contracts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to mining majors (IAMGOLD, New Gold, Nutrien, Agnico Eagle, Eldorado Gold) and industrial customers in North America, Latin America, and Europe, with 50+ mine deployments across 10 countries and 800+ km of underground coverage to date. With 51–100 employees, consecutive Gartner Magic Quadrant recognition (2025–2026), and a new factory inaugurated in 2026 that tripled production capacity, Ambra is positioning as a scaled specialist integrator in the private industrial LTE/5G market.
