Waavia 7 – the cutting-edge communications app for maritime is launching on January 7th


Waavia 7 is the next step in digital communications for the maritime sector and will be officially joining the Navarino technology portfolio on the 7th of January 2022. Waavia 7 unifies real-time corporate communications under a single, seamless platform that instantly connects every member of an organisation, no matter where they are.

This latest addition to Navarino’s technology portfolio represents a new phase of digital communications at sea, whereby shipping companies require more advanced tools that are specifically designed to support operations unique to maritime. Waavia 7 presents a solution to ever-evolving communication needs through establishing a company-wide, instant messaging and communications network that offers complete control over company data. Much more than just another instant messaging platform, Waavia 7 has been designed for the 7 seas from the ‘waaves’ up, to meet the actual day to day needs of ship operators.

The platform, which is accessed as an application on smartphones and PCs, allows for seamless deployment – something vital to oftentimes large fleets. The technology can be easily deployed and rolled out to the entire organisation with a few clicks, as it adds a totally independent instant communications network to your existing connectivity setup. With an intuitive cloud portal, user accounts can be easily managed.

Waavia 7’s capabilities truly represent its technological adaption to the unique needs of maritime. Waavia 7 works with optimized low bandwidth video calling that works smoothly over high latency satellite networks so when connectivity is limited, Waavia 7 adapts to ensure calls continue. The technology is also compatible with any connectivity provider.

Waavia 7’s features work seamlessly with the latest technologies in mind. For example, the application is fully compatible with smart glasses, which allows you to connect onshore experts with those at sea using real time telepresence (remote inspections and troubleshooting). Moreover, its advanced chat features are there to advance the communication experience – for example, those with control can set alert messages which must be acknowledged, so you can be sure they have been received.

Finally, Waavia 7 has security at its core. Thanks to its private cloud-based database, Waavia 7 keeps your data secure, encrypted and truly private to your organization. When a visitor attends a vessel, users can activate Visitor mode, which allows third parties to easily join your Waavia 7 groups to communicate with vessels they attend, while all data exchanged with visitors remains under the control of your company.
