HEXAGON AB has announced an agreement to acquire the Unified Communications Radio Suite software assets of CONET Communications GmbH, itself part of the CONET Group, in order to complement its public safety platform.
The Unified Communications Radio Suite is a high-performance communication solution for Control Centres capable of integrating diverse channels such as Private Branch Exchange and mobile phone networks, digital radio, business information systems, public address systems, video surveillance, video conferencing and satellite communication infrastructures.
Combining the Unified Communications Radio Suite with Hexagon's public safety platform will provide agencies with a fully integrated Command and Control solution from one vendor. Successful customers are already benefiting from the combined Hexagon and CONET offering.
Seamless communications
“Seamless communication is an essential part of emergency response,” said Norbert Hanke, interim president and CEO at Hexagon. “Public safety agencies must be able to communicate with responders in a variety of ways. This acquisition strengthens our ability to serve public safety customers today, while in parallel accelerating innovation for the future."
Supported by around 50 employees, the Unified Communications Radio Suite will be reported within Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure and Geospatial division and is expected to generate revenues of around ten million Euros in 2025 with margins similar to SIG averages.
Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and is expected to be finalised by the end of Q2 2025.
