Hexagon recently announced it will be acquiring Septentrio, an OEM provider of GNSS technologies to drive innovation and expand the market reach of its Resilient Assured Positioning solutions.
Combining Septentrio’s pioneering GNSS platform with Hexagon’s extensive positioning portfolio, which includes sensor fusion, anti-jamming, correction services and perception technologies, will allow cutting-edge solutions for diverse markets and applications.
In turn, this will ensure greater accessibility to high-accuracy and high-performance positioning technology with low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) characteristics. This will accelerate the adoption of autonomous systems in existing markets and address the needs of emerging high growth segments like robotics, UAVs, autonomy and other mission-critical applications.
“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,” commented Norbert Hanke, interim President and CEO, Hexagon.
