Hexagon signs agreement to expand global access to reliable positioning and geospatial services

Hexagon has joined the Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU) on Strengthening the Global Geodesy Supply Chain. The MMOU is a shared recognition by the United Nations Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence (UN-GGCE) alongside member state government departments and agencies, private sector companies, organisations, associations, and academic institutions, that action is required to make the foundations of positioning, navigation, and timing services robust.

Accurate positioning underpins countless day-to-day activities – from surveying and construction to agriculture, transportation, public safety and environmental monitoring. GNSS reliability is essential for keeping projects on schedule, infrastructure safe and operations productive. The MMoU  signatories’ shared ambition is to advance resilient positioning services and strengthen geospatial capabilities for nations around the world.

Through joint initiatives, they aim to:

• Enhance continuity and accuracy of GNSS-based positioning services
• Strengthen resilience against signal interference
• Support countries in developing and maintaining geodetic infrastructure
• Expand education and workforce development in geodesy

These initiatives ultimately help end users access more consistent accuracy, higher service availability, and stronger resilience against jamming or spoofing.
