Let’s explore the architecture of MobileNAV together and discover a new way to connect with Business Central – even when you are on the go!
Behind the scenes
At the core of MobileNAV lies the MobileNAV add-on, hosted in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Business Central Server. The add-on manages and hosts its configuration, page code units, and the Web Service component. This web service offers access to NAV/BC system functionalities, enabling smooth interaction between the server and MobileNAV clients.
?
MobileNAV seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV, leveraging standard SOAP and OData V4web service interfaces. Whether utilizing pre-existing pages or creating new ones, MobileNAV harnesses the underlying business logic of NAV/BC while operating online.
?
The communication between the MobileNAV client and the MobileNAV Add-On happens initially by downloading the configuration. Afterwards, the client communicates directly with the NAV/BC service tier.
MobileNAV operates within various network topologies, accommodating both on-premise and cloud environments. It leverages these protocols to facilitate secure communication with the Dynamics NAV/BC server, whether your mobile devices are within or outside the company domain network.
MobileNAV can be installed in various topologies, whether your mobile devices are inside the firewall or hosted on the cloud. This means that you can stay productive and secure at all times, no matter where you are.

#3 - Valid MobileNAV License:
Initially, you can opt for a trial version of up to 30 days free of charge to test MobileNAV. After the trial period is over, you’ll need to activate MobileNAV with a live license. MobileNAV is licensed per device, which means that multiple users can log in to the same device with their own different login configurations.
There’s also a special licensing option if the number of devices is very high (100+) and the expected functionality is limited. In that case, the clients can switch from device-based to page-based licensing, where the license cost will be determined by the number of pages used in the MobileNAV configuration.
Each device requires its own MobileNAV license, which determines the maximum number of devices or pages for the application.
#4 MobileNAV Add-On Objects/App Package:

+1 : RFID READER CAPABILITY:
MobileNAV supports RFID reading. The RFID add-on is sold separately from the base configuration. The requirement to have an RFID add-on is to have a standard MobileNAV license matching the RFID add-on’s licensing model.
