This acquisition will strengthen the ability to serve public safety customers.
Hexagon AB announced an agreement to acquire the Unified Communications Radio Suite (UCRS) software assets of CONET Communications GmbH (CCOM), part of CONET Group, to complement its public safety platform.
UCRS is a high-performance communication solution for control centres capable of integrating diverse channels such as Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and mobile phone networks, digital radio, business information systems, public address systems, video surveillance (CCTV), video conferencing, and satellite communication infrastructures. Combining UCRS with Hexagon’s public safety platform will provide agencies with a fully integrated command-and-control solution from one vendor. Successful customers such as the Kassel Fire Brigade already benefit from the combined Hexagon and CONET offering.
CCOM’s UCRS solution, supported by around 50 employees, will be reported within Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division and is expected to generate revenues of around ~10 MEUR 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.
