VAVIOT Telematic solutions

The company "Vaviot" was created at the end of 2016 by separating from the company "Strizh Telematics." The reason for the division of Strizh, founded in 2010, was the disagreement over the development strategy between Andrei Bakumeno and Yevgeny Akhmadishin, who owned 55% of the company in total, and its CEO Andrei Sinitsyn. Ahmadishin became the head of Vaviot.

In Russia, the largest non-cellular LPWAN networks are, according to late 2016 and early 2017, Network 868 and EveryNet, based on LoRaWAN technology, as well as Strizh Telematics, which uses its own technology. According to a company representative, VAVIOT has its own technology, called NB-Fi, open and undergoing standardization in Rosstadndart.

Companies are engaged in similar activities - the development of LPWAN solutions and the creation of an LPWAN network.

2018: Termination of operations

According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, in April 2018, Vaviot LLC ceased its activities. But products under this brand continue to develop through the Telematic Solutions company, where Yevgeny Akhmadishin was also the general director. Created by Akhmadishin in 2016, the manufacturer of sensors Vaviot (legal entity Telematic Solutions) has been 13% owned by the general director of the development group of companies Coalco Alexander Kuznetsov since September 2018, and 87% by the American company Vaviot Integral Systems. On the website of Coalco "Vaviot" is listed among the key projects that the development group is engaged in.

In October 2018, on the phone number indicated on the Vaviot website, an employee of the company told TAdviser that Ahmadishin had not been working for them for a long time.

2017: Yevgeny Akhmadishin's arrest

In November 2017, Yevgeny Akhmadishin was arrested by order of the Basmanny Court of Moscow. The reason for the arrest was suspicion of fraud under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code, which provides for liability for fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale.

The Basmanny Court also arrested Oleg Filippov, Development Director of Absolut LLC, suspected of embezzlement of funds allocated for the maintenance and repair of the intellectual transport system in Moscow, and Alexander Shukyurov, director of the capital's Capital Repair Directorate, suspected of fraud.

LPWAN network

Vaviot not only develops the LPWAN network, but also produces the sensors themselves - for example, smart water meters (ASCUE) connected to the wireless network and transmitting readings over it. Systems for housing and communal services inherited the experience of developing systems for controlling road flow created by Strizha in 2011. In 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Moscow government to familiarize itself with the achievements of Strizha in the field of housing and communal services.

VAVIOT is a wireless communication technology for the Internet of Things using the energy efficient LPWAN (Low-power Wide-area Network) approach. Great for transmitting a small amount of data - up to 255 bytes, from hundreds of thousands of different sensors over a distance of 50 km over a radio channel.
