7121 Hexagon Geosystems, a division of Hexagon AB, is acquiring French company Geodata Diffusion SAS. This deal further develops the portfolio of Hexagon Geosystems in design, measurement and visualisation technologies. With this move the company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon. Headquartered in Arpajon, near Paris (France), Geodata Diffusion is a major provider of network RTK correction services to the surveying segment through its Orphéon network of GNSS permanent stations.
