Veripos

What Veripos does

Veripos is a UK-based provider of high-precision GNSS positioning solutions purpose-built for offshore marine environments, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hexagon AB's Autonomy & Positioning division alongside sister company NovAtel. The company sells a vertically integrated stack including marine-grade GNSS receivers (LD900, LD8), anti-jam antenna systems (GAJT-710MS, GAJT-410MS, GAJT-310), SPAN GNSS+INS deep-coupled receivers with inertial measurement, and a portfolio of subscription correction services (Apex PRO, Apex5, Apex2, Ultra2) delivered globally via L-Band satellite and IP. Underpinning these services is Veripos's own network of more than 80 reference stations with dual-beam coverage and redundant Network Control Centres in Aberdeen and Singapore, delivering 99.999% uptime and RTK-level 2.5cm horizontal accuracy in as fast as 3 minutes. Software (Quantum visualisation) and proprietary resilience technology (GRIT) round out the stack with RF interference detection, spoofing identification, and operator-facing quality control.

The company sells exclusively to enterprise customers in offshore oil & gas (seismic exploration, dynamic positioning drilling and marine), marine survey, offshore construction, offshore wind, cruise ships, and autonomous/uncrewed vessels, through a direct field sales model with 24/7 technical support. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (receivers, antennas), recurring subscription correction services, software licences, and professional services including installation, training, and ongoing help-desk support. Marine certifications (EN60945, OGP 373-19, IMCA SO15) and integration with vessel DP systems create meaningful switching costs for the installed base. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Dyce (Aberdeen), UK, Veripos has between 101 and 250 employees and operates as part of Hexagon's Positioning Intelligence division, which expanded its technology footprint with the March 2025 acquisition of Septentrio.

Core offering

Veripos develops and delivers high-precision GNSS positioning solutions for the offshore marine sector, combining global correction services, marine GNSS receivers, anti-jam antennas, GNSS+INS positioning technology, and visualization software. Its offerings are sold to offshore energy, survey, construction, and uncrewed-vessel operators requiring decimetre to centimetre-level accuracy with integrity and resilience for safety-critical operations such as dynamic positioning, seismic exploration, and marine construction.

Product overview

Veripos provides a comprehensive offshore marine GNSS positioning ecosystem consisting of hardware receivers (LD900, LD8), anti-jam antenna systems (GAJT-710MS, GAJT-410MS, GAJT-310), correction services (Apex PRO, Apex5, Apex2, Ultra2), and visualization software (Quantum). The portfolio integrates with SPAN GNSS+INS technology for combined satellite and inertial positioning, and GRIT (GNSS Resilience and Integrity Technology) for RF interference detection, mitigation, and spoofing detection. Products are designed and approved for marine positioning and navigation in demanding offshore environments including seismic exploration, dynamic positioning (drilling and marine), marine survey, and construction applications.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• SeptentriocoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 March 2025Hexagon completed its acquisition of Septentrio in March 2025, expanding the reach of mission-critical navigation and autonomy applications. Septentrio brings additional positioning technology capabilities that will be integrated with Veripos and NovAtel products to create new benchmarks for accuracy, resiliency, and scalability for full autonomy.
• Hexagon | NovAtelcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerVeripos is a division of Hexagon's Autonomy & Positioning division alongside NovAtel. SPAN GNSS+INS technology was developed by Hexagon | NovAtel and is brought into the marine market by Veripos. The companies share technology platforms including OEM7 receivers, GRIT, and correction networks.
• Xona Space SystemsminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerCollaboration between Hexagon | NovAtel, Xona Space Systems, and Spirent to advance LEO PNT. NovAtel's OEM7 receiver tracked a PULSAR L-Band signal simulated from Spirent's SimXona PULSAR constellation simulator - an industry first, supporting future integration of LEO satellite signals for enhanced positioning resiliency.

Direct peers

• NovAtel (Hexagon): NovAtel is Hexagon's sister GNSS technology brand within the Autonomy & Positioning division, sharing OEM7 receiver platforms and SPAN GNSS+INS technology with Veripos. While NovAtel focuses on OEM components and broader markets, it provides the underlying technology stack that Veripos commercializes for marine.
• C-Nav (Oceaneering): C-Nav provides GNSS correction services and positioning hardware for offshore oil & gas, marine survey, and DP applications, directly overlapping with Veripos's Apex PRO/Apex correction services portfolio and offshore marine customer segments.
• Fugro: Fugro's Starfix and GNSS positioning services compete directly with Veripos in offshore marine positioning, including dynamic positioning, offshore survey, and subsea construction. Both operate global reference networks and sell subscription-based high-accuracy correction services to the same offshore customer base.
• Hemisphere GNSS: Hemisphere GNSS manufactures high-precision GNSS receivers and provides correction services for marine, survey, and machine control applications. Its Vector and Crescent product lines overlap with Veripos's LD8/LD900 receivers in marine survey and DP positioning use cases.

Emerging players

• Septentrio: Septentrio designs and manufactures high-precision GNSS receivers with emphasis on resilience against interference and spoofing (AIM+ technology). Now part of Hexagon alongside Veripos, it is a technology peer with overlapping capabilities in marine and survey positioning and a key source of competitive differentiation in the anti-jam space.
• SBG Systems: SBG Systems manufactures high-performance inertial navigation systems and GNSS+INS solutions used in marine survey, hydrography, and autonomous vessels. It competes with Veripos's SPAN GNSS+INS technology in the integrated positioning segment for marine survey and unmanned surface vessels.
• Xona Space Systems: Xona Space Systems is developing a LEO satellite constellation (PULSAR) for next-generation PNT services, representing a potential disruptive alternative to traditional MEO-based GNSS correction services. Veripos/NovAtel have already demonstrated integration with Xona signals, indicating strategic technology adjacency.

Others

• Kongsberg Maritime: Kongsberg Maritime is a leading DP system OEM and integrated marine technology provider that consumes Veripos's correction services within its DP-2/DP-3 offerings. While not a direct competitor, Kongsberg's roadmap toward integrated positioning could create adjacent/partner-or-rival dynamics with Veripos.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Trimble is a diversified positioning technology incumbent with marine-relevant GNSS receivers (NetR9, BD-series) and correction services (CenterPoint, VRS). While its core focus is broader (survey, agriculture, construction), its marine positioning products compete with Veripos in hydrographic survey and offshore applications.
• Topcon Positioning: Topcon Positioning is a broad positioning technology incumbent offering GNSS receivers, correction services, and machine control solutions. While primarily focused on construction and agriculture, Topcon's marine positioning products and OEM GNSS components compete in adjacent markets to Veripos.
