We wrapped up Project Volcano just before the holidays and we’re in the process of reaching out to the official contest winners to let them know that they’ve won.  We’ll announce the results after we’ve contacted and confirmed each winner.

Project Volcano aside, every Savi Developer is a winner to us.  And it’s now easier than ever to become a Savi Developer (for free!!!). 

ProgrammableWeb, one of the best references online for Web Service APIs, just added Savi Web Services to their API Directory.  You can see it here: http://www.programmableweb.com/api/savi.  We’re proud to see our API up there with some of the biggest names in the Cloud Computing / Web Service / Mashup world, including Google Maps, Facebook Social Graph, and PayPal Online Payments.

But it gets even better than that.  If you want to get your hands dirty and start building something with the Savi API you can dive in with our free online tutorial.  We have a text version here, and a video version here, and one Savi Developer was even kind enough to post a PHP SOAP client for Savi Web Services tutorial here (Thanks Joe).

So sit back, grab a can of Red Bull, and start coding.

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.
