[Satellite TODAY 01-05-11] Savi Technology passed demonstration tests conducted by government- and industry-backed authorities for performance, reliability and accuracy of its low-power wireless sensor technology, the company announced Jan. 4.

    Savi Technology’s products were certified by Met Laboratories, an independent testing authority working with Dash7, a non-profit industry consortium that promotes the use of the ISO 18000-7 standard for wireless sensor networking. Savi’s products also were verified and validated as compliant with the ISO 18000-7 standard by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, an independent testing authority working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense.

These tests were conducted as of requirements of the Pentagon’s $429 million RFID 3 contract. “Validation that our products comply with today’s global standards and can interoperate with other standards-based wireless devices moves us closer to empowering a new class of business applications that facilitate and leverage inter-connected wireless objects,” Savi Technology CEO David Stephens said in a statement.
