Savi RFID Products Certified By 3 Governments
Savi Technology announced that official regulatory bodies in Taiwan, Malaysia and Chile have approved the use of Savi's active RFID tags and readers. The certifications pave the way for further global expansion of Savi's active RFID networks, which automatically monitor the location, security and environment of cargo containers.
“Businesses in Taiwan, Malaysia and Chile recognise the economic and strategic value of standardised RFID, and certification facilitates our ability to help make the supply chains over there more efficient and secure,” said Fraser Jennings, VP, Standards and Regulatory Activities, Savi. “International recognition of ISO18000-7 means customers can deploy a single active RFID platform globally, which translates into lower deployment costs, greater flexibility in designing active RFID networks and a higher ROI.”
Savi products are now approved for use in more than 50 countries located throughout all major trading regions worldwide. The Savi hardware is based on the ISO18000-7 standard for battery-powered RFID devices operating at 433MHz.
Taiwan's Directorate General of Telecommunications (DGT) approved the use of Savi's RFID hardware. Savi Networks, a JV between Savi Technology and Hutchison Port Holdings, is already deploying RFID reader infrastructure at the Port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan as part of its growing global network and SaviTrak information services. A full deployment covering gates and cranes and utilising Savi SR-650 readers and Savi SP-652 signposts is currently in progress.
In Malaysia, Savi's RFID tags and readers were certified by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). Savi Networks is also expanding its monitoring network at the Westports Malaysia Port in Port Klang, where Savi readers will cover gates while signposts will monitor rail traffic.
In Chile, certification was awarded by the Subsecretaria de Telecomunicaciones. The approval was sought as part of Savi Networks' plans to expand its RFID-based infrastructure to strategic supply chain locations in Asia, Europe and North & South America. |
