China Approves Lockheed Martin's Savi RFID Products

Savi Technology, a provider of RFID-based supply chain solutions, received official approval from the China State Radio Regulation Committee (SRRC) to use its family of active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) products throughout the country. Savi Technology’s tags and readers approved by SRRC, a division of the China Ministry of Information Industry, are compatible with the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO 18000-7) standard for active RFID products operating at the 433.92 MHz radio frequency band.

By approving Savi’s hardware equipment, China has authorised the use of active RFID products compatible with ISO-18000-7. These product approvals in China follows similar approvals for the 433 MHz frequency in North America, South America, Europe and Pacific Rim markets such as Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Following testing and document reviews, SRRC has issued Savi Technology a Radio Transmission Equipment Type Approval Certificate and Code for five of the company’s flagship hardware products, including tags, readers and signposts.
