Heritage MDU Wi-Fi upgrade: 3x faster speeds, fraction of the cost. LATYS eliminates the need for costly ISP infrastructure upgrades in older multi-unit buildings, delivering modern connectivity without drilling, rewiring, or tenant disruption.

Underground mines struggle with Wi-Fi dead zones in tunnels with sharp turns or thick rock walls, affecting safety, efficiency, and costs. Val-d’Or and Nunavik Nickel mines experienced these issues firsthand with mobile equipment. LATYS FOCUS smart antennas bend Wi-Fi signals around corners, keeping equipment and sensors connected in real time. Tested in real mines, it delivers reliable, scalable connectivity that boosts safety and operational efficiency.

In partnership with Axsera Inc., LATYS successfully delivered seamless wireless connectivity at Agroparc Pont-Château during the Rodeo Pont-Château event in Coteau-du-Lac, held from July 17 to 20.

LATYS FOCUS can bend and boost Wi-Fi signals around obstacles, restoring stable, high-gain connectivity in challenging underground environments. With minimal hardware, it enables real-time monitoring, precise drill control, continuous sensor data, and enhanced operational safety. Lightweight, modular, and easy to reposition, LATYS FOCUS provides reliable underground communication while reducing infrastructure costs and complexity.

Underground mines demand reliable connectivity, but existing solutions are often costly, complex, or limited in performance. LATYS FOCUS offers a smarter alternative—plug-and-play technology that instantly extends Wi-Fi coverage up to 4× farther, with no added latency and ultra-low power use. A fast, reliable way to fill coverage gaps where other systems fall short.

LATYS FOCUS: Transforming Underground Mining Connectivity In the toughest underground environments, LATYS FOCUS makes reliable Wi-Fi possible. Using intelligent beam-steering, it bends and multiplies signals to reach every corner—around sharp bends and through dense rock. Quick to deploy and easy to reposition, it keeps equipment, sensors, and crews connected in real time, boosting safety, efficiency, and productivity while cutting infrastructure costs.

LATYS FOCUS, a non-reciprocal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS), solves the near-far problem in Wi-Fi networks by dynamically adjusting signal phases and amplitudes, improving communication between mismatched Access Point and client devices.

In the realm of wireless communication, ensuring robust cybersecurity is paramount. Traditional repeaters and emerging LATYS FOCUS based on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) each impact Wi-Fi network security in distinct ways.

LATYS Focus partnered with Logix ITS to test its Wi-Fi Multiplier in a real office setting, measuring signal strength, interference, and throughput across both Wi-Fi bands. The results: stronger, more reliable coverage, less interference, and faster speeds for video calls and file transfers. Logix ITS confirmed the impact firsthand, saying the Multiplier eliminated their connectivity dead zones and significantly boosted office-wide performance.

LATYS has partnered with Groupe MISA through the Vortex Journey – IoT Chapter to accelerate the industrialization of LATYS FOCUS for mining applications.

LATYS, the pioneering startup behind revolutionary metasurface antenna technology, is pleased to announce a strategic investment from SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO.

LATYS Intelligence, a wireless networking company, and Oxia Initiative, today announced a strategic collaboration that resulted in a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) measurement tool to assess the GHG emissions impact of LATYS FOCUS.

LATYS Intelligence Inc. has received funding from SDTC to accelerate the development of LATYS FOCUS.

”A breakthrough proof of concept, such as Professor Eleftheriades and Taravati’s, clears a path to better technology - and then industry picks up the baton.”

In September, Montreal-based deep tech investment fund and startup incubator, TandemLaunch announced LATYS as its latest incubation.
