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:
“Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
“Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
