Savi Technology’s low-power wireless sensor technology recently demonstrated its operational performance, reliability and accuracy in separate field tests recently conducted by government- and industry-backed authorities. Savi Technology’s passage of the tests provides customers with reinforced confidence in the company’s solutions and the added benefit of third-party performance and reliability certification.

Savi Technology’s products became the first to achieve DASH7 Certified status in tests administered by Met Laboratories, an independent testing authority working with DASH7, a non-profit industry consortium that promotes the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard for wireless sensor networking. Further, Savi’s RFID products were “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.

“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. “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.”

During in-the-field tests, 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, also ensuring their compliance with ISO 18000-7 standards for active RFID. The conformance and interoperability tests were conducted by MET Laboratories on behalf of the DASH7 Alliance, a non-profit industry consortium with more than 50 participating organizations promoting the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard.

In separate tests, PNNL “verified and validated” that Savi Technology’s RFID tags and readers meet new ISO 18000-7 requirements under the DoD’s $429-million RFID III contract, which is a competitively bid Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract. Savi Technology has been the leading provider of RFID-based supply tracking solutions to the DoD for more than 15 years, and helped it build the RF In-Transit Visibility network, the world’s largest active RFID cargo tracking system spanning more than 4,000 locations in more than 40 countries.
