The Navatec Voyager (NV) has access to Universal Channels for carrying out a range of activities. A universal channel provides direct access to the server end or client end enabling the transfer of instructions, data and files without requiring a dialogue with the user. The unique aspect of Universal Channel operation is that the Navatec Voyager can operate in parallel processing mode and distribute data processing tasks to several different servers or time-slices within a central server.

Established in 2000, the Universal Channel's parallel processing effect was later described as being asynchronous processing. A client side implementation of asynchronbous processing was proposed in 2005 using JavaScript and XL by Jesse James Garrett and known as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). However, as explained in the 2006 article in CybaCity.com¹  the Navatec Universal Channel is not an AJAX implementation but it does secure the same effects such as updating of data without having to refresh a user dialogue.
