Hexagon | NovAtel has joined the GPS Innovation Alliance (GPSIA) as its newest member.
NovAtel develops positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) products for land, sea and air applications, with users in agriculture, defense, autonomous mobility and marine sectors. The company’s portfolio includes high-precision GNSS receivers, correction services, sensor fusion systems, GNSS anti-jam technology and post-processing solutions.
GPSIA Executive Director Lisa Dyer said the addition comes at a critical time for PNT infrastructure.
“NovAtel brings world-class expertise in high-precision GNSS, inertial integration, and anti-jam capabilities that help protect critical services people rely on every day, from transportation and public safety to the supply chains and infrastructure that power the world’s economy,” Dyer said. “Their leadership will strengthen GPSIA’s work to protect GPS and complementary PNT technologies from harmful interference and to accelerate the innovation that underpins the decades-long reliability of these systems.”
Jonathan Auld, president of NovAtel’s Positioning Division at Hexagon, said the company plans to use its membership to raise awareness of PNT’s role in critical industries.
“From precise positioning and correction services to resilient solutions that help mitigate interference, we support customers operating in mission- and safety-critical environments,” Auld said. “We look forward to working with GPSIA to heighten awareness of the role these technologies play in innovation, critical infrastructure, and economic growth.”
NovAtel joins existing GPSIA members Apple, Garmin, Deere & Company, Lockheed Martin, Trimble and TrustPoint, along with organizations participating in the alliance’s affiliates program. GPSIA describes its mission as protecting, modernizing and advancing GPS, GNSS and complementary PNT technologies.
