WASHINGTON, D.C. — The GPS Innovation Alliance (GPSIA), the leading association for companies developing and deploying GPS and other space-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies, announced NovAtel, part of Hexagon, as its newest member. NovAtel provides end-to-end solutions for assured positioning and autonomy across land, sea, and air applications. NovAtel's products and solutions set the standard for reliability, accuracy, and operational excellence in vital industries including agriculture, defense, autonomous mobility, and marine.
“We are thrilled to welcome NovAtel to the GPS Innovation Alliance at a moment when strengthening our PNT infrastructure has never been more important,” said GPSIA Executive Director Lisa Dyer. “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. Their leadership will strengthen GPSIA’s work to protect GPS and complementary PNT technologies from harmful interference and to accelerate the innovation that underpin the decades-long reliability of these systems.”
NovAtel’s high-precision positioning technology, correction services, sensor fusion, GNSS anti-jam technology (GAJT), and post-processing solutions are designed to solve positioning and navigation challenges in the most complex environments and applications.
“NovAtel is proud to join GPSIA and collaborate with an alliance focused on protecting and advancing the PNT technologies that support critical industries,” said Jonathan Auld, President, NovAtel Positioning Division, Hexagon. “From precise positioning and correction services to resilient solutions that help mitigate interference, we support customers operating in mission- and safety-critical environments. We look forward to working with GPSIA to heighten awareness of the role these technologies play in innovation, critical infrastructure, and economic growth.”
