Savi launches multiple communication tag

Thursday, 30 July, 2009 (Age: 1 yrs)

Savi Technology, has launched an asset and shipment monitoring device that combines a global positioning system, active RFID and satellite communications.

Savi's hybrid ST-694 GlobalTag provides defense, public sector and commercial customers with continuous monitoring and precise location information of supply chain assets most anytime and anywhere, including areas where there is no terrestrial reader infrastructure. The GlobalTag tracking technology, which has been co-developed, tested and trialed with M2M (Machine-to-Machine) solution and service provider Numerex, is available in select quantities now for pilot field operations. Savi GlobalTag provides a new cost-effective solution to a market demanding new capabilities for continuous in-transit visibility of shipments and mobile supply chain assets, such as transport vehicles, container shipments or large and valuable equipment. Plans call for Savi GlobalTag to become generally available as a DASH7 technology later this year, supporting the ISO 18000-7 standard for active RFID, which will help promote interoperability with compatible networks and devices.
