Octave Launches a New Brand as it Moves Through the Separation Approval Process
What to Know
- Octave is transitioning into an independent company, subject to approval, following its separation from Hexagon AB.
- The platform supports four operational areas: Design, Build, Operate, and Protect, covering the entire asset lifecycle.
- Key features include 3D modeling, real-time monitoring, incident response tools, and cybersecurity capabilities.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Octave, a proposed software spin-off from Hexagon AB, has introduced a new brand identity as part of its planned transition into an independent company.
The move marks a step in the ongoing separation process involving Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions, along with the Bricsys, ETQ and Projectmates businesses. The proposed spin-off remains subject to board and shareholder approval, as well as regulatory review.
Octave’s platform is designed to integrate data across infrastructure and industrial environments, with applications that include public safety operations, emergency management, and critical asset protection. The company said its technology uses domain-specific artificial intelligence to support decision-making across complex systems.
“Octave exists to help customers make better decisions when complexity is high and the stakes matter,” said Mattias Stenberg, chief executive officer of Octave. “We aren't just launching a logo; this is a commitment to help organizations achieve the outcomes that matter most.”
For law enforcement and public safety agencies, the proposed platform centers on improving situational awareness, incident response coordination, and infrastructure protection. Octave’s “Protect” capabilities include tools for emergency management, physical security, industrial cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance—areas that directly affect interagency coordination and operational readiness.
The broader system is structured around four operational areas:
- Design: Supports 3D modeling, engineering analysis, simulation, and geospatial
- intelligence Build: Connects procurement, construction, and project tracking workflows
- Operate: Integrates maintenance, historical data, and real-time system monitoring
- Protect: Focuses on public safety, incident response, and security operations
According to the company, the platform is intended to address challenges such as fragmented data systems and limited interoperability—issues that can impact response times, intelligence sharing, and decision-making during critical incidents.
Octave also launched a new website and social media presence alongside the brand announcement to outline its capabilities and intended market role.
The separation from Hexagon is not yet finalized. The company stated there is no assurance that the spin-off or independent listing will occur, pending required approvals and conditions.
