Founded in 2013, it was created after Beijing UniStrong Science & Technology acquired Hemisphere GPS, which was subsequently renamed AgJunction.[3] Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, the company has product development facilities in Hiawatha, Kansas, Calgary, Canada, and Winnipeg, Canada.

Offered by Hemisphere, Atlas is a satellite-based argumentation system (SBAS) service whose correction signals are proprietary, and a subscription can be purchased from them in order to receive a subscription authorization. To receive corrections from Atlas, the user must have a capable receiver available from the company.

In turn, Outback Guidance is a subsidiary of Hemisphere GNSS that develops and produces hardware and software for Precision agriculture solutions.[4] Its terminals and its autosteer software are used as OEM equipment in Claas machines.[5]

After announcing its intention to purchase it on March 30, 2023,[6] CNH Industrial completed the acquisition of Hemisphere GNSS on October 12.[7]
