Hexagon unveils new physical security portfolio

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division has announced the expansion and rebranding of its portfolio of physical security solutions to HxGN dC3.

According to the company, the new name stands for Detect, Command, Control and Collaborate.

Since acquiring Qognify in April 2023, Hexagon has been extending and integrating its offerings into the broader Hexagon ecosystem, and the expanded portfolio will continue to serve as a platform for growing it’s footprint in the physical security space.

“Having now transitioned into Hexagon and plugged into a much broader ecosystem, I think we have emerged as more of a platform company,” Qognify’s Jeremy Howard told SSN in an interview in 2024.

New to the portfolio is the AI-enhanced HxGN dC3 LidarVision (formerly Accur8vision), a 3D surveillance system based on volumetric LiDAR detection technology that makes use of Hexagon’s proprietary AI neural network, DeepTection.

The portfolio also includes HxGN dC3 Video (formerly Qognify VMS), an open-platform video management software (VMS), and HxGN dC3 Orchestrator (formerly Situator), an enterprise class physical security information management (PSIM) software. Solutions for advanced video analytics, forensic search and centralized management and monitoring of multi-site physical security systems complete the HxGN dC3 core portfolio.

In addition, HxGN dC3 leverages solutions from the wider Hexagon stack, including HxGN OnCall Dispatch, Hexagon’s industry-leading computer-aided dispatch solution, and HxGN Connect, an AI-enhanced, cloud-based collaboration portal.

“Hexagon is reinventing physical security with a suite of integrated software solutions for enterprise organizations,” said Mladen Stojic, president of physical security for Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division. “With HxGN dC3, Hexagon empowers these organizations to safeguard their worlds.”
