SoC Also Offered to Developers to Extend Supply Chain Tracking Applications
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – June 30, 2010 – Savi Technology, a Lockheed Martin company [NYSE: LMT] providing real-time supply chain and asset management solutions, today unveiled a state-of-the-art Radio Frequency system-on-a-chip (SoC) about the size of a dime that streamlines design and development processes of DASH7 RFID-based tracking devices.
(More about Savi SoC and a new Developer Tools program will be explained today at 2pm (EDT) in an “RFID Independence Day” webcast hosted by the “RFID Journal” that includes executives from Savi, Comtech Mobile Datacom and ODIN Technologies).
Savi’s new active RFID SoC combines three different microprocessor chips onto one silicon chip package, which dramatically consolidates and simplifies the integration of electrical circuitry used to process and store data on RFID tags and readers. As a result, the design and manufacturing processes of standards-based active RFID hardware and enabling solutions are speedier and more cost-effective while also maintaining the full functionality and memory of Savi’s industry-leading hardware.
