Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a global technology
innovator powering the new space economy, today announced it won
the 2019 Americas Region Most Innovative Supplier Award from HERE
Technologies, a global leader in mapping and location platform
services. Additionally, HERE renewed its satellite imagery contract
with Maxar for the global production of HERE’s in-car navigation
maps.
HERE, a major optical imagery customer since 2015, will leverage
Maxar’s imagery products, specifically Vivid and Metro mosaics, to
provide accurate and up-to-date maps for their customers. HERE
location technology is utilized across industries and approximately
4 out of 5 vehicles with embedded navigation systems sold in North
America and Western Europe are equipped with HERE map data on
board. Maxar’s Vivid and Metro products provide high-quality
satellite image layers updated annually with industry-leading 50 cm
resolution coverage globally and 30 cm resolution coverage of major
cities around the world.
HERE will also incorporate these global maps, derived 2D and 3D
features and location intelligence information into their
autonomous vehicle program and other mapping applications across
many customer segments. Maxar’s imagery will provide an accurate,
foundational data layer in these innovative, map-based
applications.
“HERE Technologies is proud to award Maxar our Most Innovative
Supplier Award,” said Jeff Amsel, Vice President and Head of Global
Sourcing at HERE Technologies. “Maxar’s high-quality satellite
imagery supports our core mapping mission for in-car navigation
systems and our development of autonomous vehicle technology.”
“Winning the HERE Most Innovative Supplier Award is an honor as
it validates the value our industry-leading geospatial data brings
to our customer’s most critical business objectives,” said Jeff
Culwell, Maxar’s Chief Product Officer. “HERE mapping applications
enable people to navigate the world no matter how quickly it
changes, and we are proud to play a key role in the development of
that technology.”
The operations of DigitalGlobe, SSL and Radiant Solutions were
unified under the Maxar brand in February; MDA continues to operate
as an independent business unit within the Maxar organization.
