Cutting a long navigation story short: What you get
Ensure vastly cost reductions on buoy deployment – virtual buoys stay in the right place, can easily be moved, don’t require service and are free to deploy and recover.

The NaviSuite Perio software allows for:
- 3D visualisation of seabed, navigation charts, buoys, etc
- Placement of buoys via the software on exact location based on latest seabed survey
- Support of all AIS AtoN buoy types
- Built-in quality control – NaviSuite Perio will listen for the buoy data and verify that it is received as it is sent
- Easy control of transmission being on/off
We use the AIS AtoN (Aid to Navigation) standard that allows for transmission of virtual object positions – in our case 250 or more buoys positioned in the software.
The hardware items of a complete system solution as a minimum encompass AIS transponder, AIS antenna, antenna cable, mounting bracket, etc, thereby allowing for transmission of the buoys' positions from shore.

General visualisation
NaviModel and NaviPac share the same 3D engine, and therefore the same powerful 3D visualisation features. Data can be visualised in 2D, 3D, side view or by time.

3D seabed terrain
Seabed terrain can be visualised in a 3D environment.
Multiple Map Views
Multiple Map Views are available. Each individual Map View window can be configured separately to display only the information required.
Background Maps
Background Web Map Service (WMS) maps can be displayed.
Import 3D models
3D models can be imported into NaviModel (drag and drop into the Map View window).
Link 3D models to live objects
3D models can be linked to any live objects (Vessel, ROV, Scanfish etc).
2D, 3D and side-view displays
2D, 3D or Side views allows the user to quickly change the view facilitating better data interpretation.
Visibility Slider
Visibility slider allows users to compare different DTM’s quickly. This enables comparison over time or between different data processing methods.
Control colours, lights, details
DTM light and palette settings can be changed at any time.
Profile views
The following profile views are available:• Cross Profile• Long Profile• Quick Profile• X & Y Axis Profile• View ProfileCreate fly-through videos
Fly-through videos can be created for project or promotional presentations.

Navigation and routes
NaviPac is an integrated navigation and data acquisition software solution that includes surface and subsea navigation, route and waypoint planning, live tracking and piloting.
Navigation and routes features
Navigation and data acquisition are integrated in this software solution. Efficiently and easily navigate surface and subsea vessels using intuitive tools to plan routes and waypoints, track or pilot a vessel and more.
Display live position of a vehicle
NaviSuite supports display of vehicle data based on the NaviPac data feed. You can display the main vessel along with one subsea vehicle, such as an ROV or ROTV, on an unlimited number of local and remote displays. The data can be shown graphically in multiple map views.
AIS tracks
NaviSuite supports integration with AIS receivers. The data can be shown in a dedicated AIS window and overlaid in the NaviPac window. You can perform, read and utilise vessel dimension information.
Display north-up, heading-up, route-up
Each Map View can be designed and controlled individually when it comes to content, overlays and layout. Map Views can be 2D, 3D or side-views, and orientation can be user defined, north-up, vehicle up or line up.
Distance to waypoint
Waypoints are handled in a similar manner to runlines, as assignment of the waypoint is done in the Vehicle Control View. Hereafter, an artificial runline is created from the vehicle to the point and NaviPac monitors the range/bearing to the destination. and can a,.o. feed that into autopilots and DP systems.

NaviSuite Perio – virtual buoys
NaviSuite Perio provides the possibility of replacing marker buoys with virtual buoys that are managed via a software user interface.
NaviSuite Perio – virtual buoys features
NaviSuite Perio provides the possibility of replacing marker buoys with virtual buoys that are managed via a software user interface.
Define buoy location
Planning of the buoy location is done in the NaviPac Helmsman’s Display (or NaviModel), where you place the buoys graphically on top of charts, drawings or terrain models – or import/enter location as grid or geographical coordinates.
Define buoy type (AtoN types)
NaviSuite Perio supports the standard 31 types of buoys. Based on the selected type the operator defines additional parameters as well, including dimension, direction around them, communication control etc.
Broadcast buoys as AIS AtoN
NaviSuite Perio will send out AIS signals via radio using the standard communication protocol. This means that any vessel or land station with an AIS receiver will be able to receive and use the information no matter which solution they have. Image courtesy of Marine Traffic.
Show buoys in 3D in HD
If using NaviPac onboard the receiving vessel, you may display the buoys in the standard NaviPac 4 Helmsman’s Display together with NaviPac vehicles, live AIS tracking vessels and the charts and terrain data in 2D/3D.
NaviSuite Perio rack
NaviSuite Perio can be supplied as a single or redundant system with all included from computer, software, radio and connection to antennas.
