About Us
Terralynx is a Canadian aerial data analytics company helping organizations turn high-resolution drone, LiDAR, multispectral, and geospatial data into clear, actionable decisions.
We work with municipalities, conservation authorities, agribusinesses, engineering firms, researchers, and environmental organizations that need more than standard drone imagery. Our focus goes beyond capturing data from above. The real value comes from transforming aerial data into reliable maps, terrain models, vegetation insights, drainage analysis, and decision-ready deliverables that support planning, monitoring, reporting, and long-term strategy.
Founded in 2017 as Terranova UAV and later rebranded as Terralynx, our company was built around a simple idea: aerial data should be practical, accurate, and useful. Many organizations already have access to maps, satellite imagery, or drone photos. The challenge is understanding what that data means, how it connects to real conditions on the ground, and how it can be used to make better decisions. Terralynx bridges that gap.
We specialize in multiple drone (RPAS) sensing capabilities including LiDAR mapping, multispectral imagery, aerial surveys, terrain analysis, vegetation monitoring, environmental monitoring, drainage mapping, and GIS-ready deliverables. Our projects help clients better understand land, water, crops, infrastructure, and ecosystems with a level of detail that traditional methods often cannot provide efficiently.
For municipal and engineering clients, Terralynx provides high-resolution elevation models, drainage corridor mapping, erosion monitoring, obstruction identification, and terrain data that supports infrastructure planning and maintenance. For conservation authorities and environmental organizations, we support wetland monitoring, reforestation tracking, canopy analysis, habitat assessment, and change detection over time. For agribusinesses and researchers, we provide crop health analysis, field variability mapping, trial monitoring, and aerial data layers that help validate decisions at the field level.
Every project is designed around the client’s goals. Our consulting approach includes sensor selection, flight altitude, image overlap, ground control, data processing, and deliverable formats, all planned according to the site conditions, accuracy requirements, and final use of the data. This ensures the results are not only visually impressive, but technically useful.
Our team works with advanced tools such as multiple drone sensors, multispectral cameras, RGB imagery, RTK positioning, GIS software, and point cloud processing workflows. We produce deliverables such as technical reports and insights, digital terrain models, digital surface models, 3D point clouds, canopy height models, orthomosaics, vegetation indices, elevation profiles, and GIS datasets.
Technology alone is not enough. A drone can collect data. Software can generate maps. What our clients need is confidence that the data was collected correctly, processed properly, and interpreted in a way that supports the decision they are trying to make.
At Terralynx, our mission is to make high-resolution aerial intelligence accessible, practical, and valuable for organizations managing land, water, infrastructure, agriculture, and natural ecosystems.
Terralynx delivers aerial insights with clear results, helping organizations measure, manage, and make better decisions from above.
