Hexagon, a global leader in precision technologies, has agreed to acquire Septentrio NV, a developer of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies.
The acquisition will ensure greater accessibility to high-accuracy and high-performance positioning technology with low SWaP characteristics.
The deal will accelerate the adoption of autonomous systems in existing markets and address the needs of robotics, drones, autonomy, and other mission-critical technologies.
The collaboration will merge Septentrio’s GNSS platform with Hexagon’s positioning technology portfolio, enabling precise location determination for robots and supporting applications like precision farming, delivery robots, and surveying.
