RFID Industry Standards
Savi is known for its leadership in creating a single, global standard for active RFID. Until recently, customers had to choose between many non-interoperable and proprietary active RFID technologies. Now, customers can insist on a standards-based architecture which will make investing in active RFID applications easier and less expensive.
The ISO 18000-7 RFID protocol standard is highly significant to all RFID companies because it is central to the growth of RFID's benefits in supply chain asset tracking and other applications.
Recently, Savi joined over 20 other technology companies to form the DASH7 Alliance, an industry consortium with the mission of improving interoperability among ISO 18000-7 certified devices, as well as to promote and expand the ISO 18000-7 standard.
Another global standard relative to RFID companies is ISO 18185, which covers electronic cargo seals (e-Seals). E-Seals are an emerging class of active RFID devices with built-in security and tracking features that enhance visibility, security and efficiency of in-transit cargo containers.
Savi is an active proponent of both standards and offers licensing programs for both ISO 18000-7 and ISO 18185 in an effort to drive international adoption of the standards.

Famous quotes containing the words industry and/or standards:
“It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
