The Adveto story in short

Adveto was established in 1986 to develop navigation systems for small aircraft and later also for marine applications.
The first Adveto navigation product was DATANAV,
originally made for pilots’ flying route scheduling. This was installed at an early stage in a small Jodel DR1050 Ambassadeur aircraft owned and piloted by Kent Sylvén, founder and president of Adveto.
This was probably the first single-engine aircraft in the world to be equipped with a navigation system including GPS, maps, route navigation and a navigation data base.

The Swedish National Maritime Administration was (together with Finnish Porkkalla)
first in the world to take up DGPS broadcasts in the Baltic Sea in the early 1990’s.
This gave Adveto an opportunity to try this new technique to further develop its
navigation products.
It was a major challenge to make potential users of DATANAV and DGPS to understand
the benefi ts of electronic navigation. However, close co-operation with progressive ship
captains resulted in a market breakthrough in 1991 and during 1991- 1997 over 100
DATANAV installations were made onboard ships mainly in Scandinavia but also in Asia.

In 1997 Advetos new system with ECDIS and AIS presentations were launched as
ADVETO AECDIS replacing DATANAV.
This year Adveto wins a tender for navigation equipment for the Swedish National Maritime Administration’s pilotboats in competition with most other suppliers within EU.
This prestigeous order opened up the market for Adveto and soon another prestigeous
order was won with the Swedish Waxholms-bolaget line operating the widespread
Stockholm archipelago with some 25 ships.
 
Since then, more than 700 ADVETO AECDIS systems have been installed onboard a wide range of vessels in Scandinavia and all around the world.
In 2004, as a “breed” from AECDIS, the ADVETO CVTS was launched
for land based users and in December 2005 we received the DNV full ECDIS-approval of our ADVETO ECDIS-4000 system.

Hence, after 20 years in our type of industry, we are still in he front end of the technical
development and customer applications in the the area of Electronic Navigation and
AIS presentation for professionals.
 
In the meantime, another aircraft has been added to the Adveto fleet
– a Cessna TU-206 amphibian float plane. As a “flying navigation platform” it has been equipped with an advanced electronic navigation system with
ENC, flight maps, GPS and AIS transponder. This makes it possible to communicate with other AIS units and monitor the own flight as well as the vessel movements below and to be monitored from the ground.

And the small Jodel aircraft is still owned and piloted by Kent Sylvén!
