Savi Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (News - Alert) and a provider of a new class of Smart Asset Management solutions and services, announced that its wireless asset tracking technology has passed global tests for performance, reliability and accuracy standards.

According to a press release, Savi Technology’s low-power wireless sensor technology demonstrated its operational performance, reliability and accuracy in separate field tests that were recently conducted by government- and industry-backed authorities.

Officials with Savi Technology said that the company’s products became the first to earn DASH7 Certified designation in the tests. Met Laboratories, an independent testing authority working with DASH7, administered these tests.

For those unaware, DASH7 is a non-profit industry consortium that promotes the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard for wireless sensor networking.

Savi Technology’s ST-654 high-performance, data rich tags and SR-650 fixed readers were industry’s first products to pass the DASH7 Certification program during in-the-field tests. This successful completion of tests ensures that these devices are compliant with ISO 18000-7 standards for active RFID.

In addition, Savi Technology’s RFID products were also verified and validated as compliant with the ISO 18000-7 standard by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory “PNNL,” an independent testing authority working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense.

PNNL verified and validated that Savi Technology’s RFID tags and readers meet the new ISO 18000-7 requirements under the DoD’s $429-million RFID III contract.

Savi Technology is a provider of RFID-based supply tracking solutions to the DoD for more than 15 years. The company helped DoD build the RF In-Transit Visibility network, an active RFID cargo tracking system spanning over 4,000 locations in more than 40 countries.

Officials with Savi Technology said that the company’s passage of tests provides customers with reinforced confidence in the company’s solutions as well as added benefit of third-party performance and reliability certification.

“Savi’s growing base of commercial and government customers can be assured that we not only continue to innovate solutions using wireless technologies, but also that our products continue to meet the highest standards for performance and reliability,” said David Stephens, CEO of Savi Technology, in a statement.  “Validation that our products comply with today’s global standards and can interoperate with other standards-based wireless devices moves us closer to empowering a new class of business applications that facilitate and leverage inter-connected wireless objects.”
