Hexagon has joined the Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU) on Strengthening the Global Geodesy Supply Chain.
<p>The MMOU is a shared recognition by the United Nations Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence (<a target="_blank" href="https://ggim.un.org/UNGGCE/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UN-GGCE</a>) — alongside member state government departments and agencies, private sector companies, organizations, associations, and academic institutions — that action is required to make the foundations of positioning, navigation and timing services robust. </p> <p>With <a target="_blank" href="https://hxgnsmartnet.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HxGN SmartNet</a>, Hexagon has built a reliable, scalable GNSS infrastructure that integrates physical reference stations, specialized software such as Leica Spider, and a secure environment for distributing precise positioning data. Supporting tens of thousands of users worldwide, SmartNet delivers the accuracy and continuity essential for daily operations across many sectors.</p> <p>The MMoU signatories hope to advance resilient positioning services and strengthen geospatial capabilities for nations around the world. Through joint initiatives, they aim to: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Enhance continuity and accuracy of GNSS-based positioning services</li> <li>Strengthen resilience against signal interference</li> <li>Support countries in developing and maintaining geodetic infrastructure</li> <li>Expand education and workforce development in geodesy.</li> </ul> <p>These initiatives ultimately help end users access more consistent accuracy, higher service availability, and stronger resilience against jamming or spoofing.</p> <p>The MMoU was signed by Henning Sandfort, president, Geosystems Business Area, Hexagon, and Dieter Fritsch, Hexagon’s representative to the UN-GGIM Private Sector Network, on Nov. 17.</p> <p>“Joining the MMoU underscores our commitment to ensuring that accurate, dependable geospatial information is accessible to governments and organisations worldwide,” Sandfort said.</p> <p>“Hexagon’s contribution under the MMoU demonstrates the importance of global collaboration between Member States, UN and the geospatial industry,” said Nicholas Brown, head of Office at the UN-GGCE. “Hexagon is a key player of GNSS technology and digital reality solutions and therefore mostly welcomed to contribute the future vision of a strengthened global geodesy supply chain.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/hexagon-signs-un-pledge-to-ensure-robust-pnt-services/">Hexagon signs UN pledge to ensure robust PNT services</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
