Hexagon has announced an agreement to acquire Septentrio, an OEM provider of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies.
The company says that combining Septentrio’s pioneering GNSS platform with its extensive positioning portfolio, including sensor fusion, anti-jamming, correction services and perception technologies, will enable it to provide cutting-edge solutions for diverse markets and applications.
This will ensure greater accessibility to high-accuracy and high-performance positioning technology with low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) characteristics, accelerating the adoption of autonomous systems in existing markets and addressing the needs of emerging high growth segments like robotics, UAVs, autonomy and other mission-critical applications.
“Setting new standards”
“The combination of Hexagon and Septentrio will transform the positioning industry across existing and new markets, setting new standards for the accuracy, resilience and scalability of positioning technologies, necessary to support and accelerate the journey towards full autonomy,” said Norbert Hanke, interim President and CEO, Hexagon AB.
Septentrio will be reported within the company‘s Autonomous Solutions division.
