Edited Press Release.

Savi Technology received official approval this week 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 ISO 18000-7 (International Standardization Organization) standard for active RFID products operating at the 433.92 MHz radio frequency band.

"China’s certification of Savi's hardware products further validates international recognition that active RFID technology standard ISO 18000-7 is the global standard," said Fraser Jennings, vice president of Standards and Regulatory Affairs for Savi Technology, a Lockheed Martin company. "This milestone event facilitates the deployment of our proven RFID-based solutions to improve the real-time visibility, management and security of global shipments within, to and from China – the world’s largest manufacturing center."

By approving Savi's hardware equipment, China has authorized the use of active RFID products compatible with ISO-18000-7. These product approvals in China, combined with similar prior approvals in North America, South America, Europe and Pacific Rim markets such as Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, "clearly show the solid support for the 433 MHz frequency as the worldwide choice for active RFID," Jennings said.

Following extensive 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.
