Lynx is a privately-owned company that supplies the latest results generation and handling technology to the sporting industry. The company employs software and hardware engineers and has its own production division to meet the growing worldwide demand for the Lynx range of digital sports data generation tools.

	Mission Statement To bring the technologies currently available at the highest levels of sport to a wider market . To overcome the problems often associated with these technologies - low reliability and high cost - via elegant product development. To distinguish our products as they mature by assuring superior value and constantly utilizing customer input.
	Global Access In line with our mission statement, the entire range of Lynx hardware and software is based on an "open architecture" philosophy. If a data handling device can be configured to communicate with a Lynx product, then sports data can be shared. As a result of this, sporting events can have the ability to generate results rapidly and then post them - real time - to the internet, to scoreboards, to local and remote databases, etc.. Scott Logan, a senior official at the 1997 World Canoe Championships had this to say about the data handling at Canoe 97: "The efficiency of your system and its integration into the broader results management system cannot be over-stated. Once running, it almost seemed too easy from the perspective of the observer. There were no discrepancies, delays or errors. Results were to the public within seconds of each race's conclusion and on the internet within a minute. Truly incredible."
