Satellite RFID Tag Provides Global Visibility


Numerex and Savi will collaborate to develop an asset and shipment monitoring capability that integrates Global Satellite Positioning, active Radio Frequency Identification and Satellite Communications into a hybrid RFID tag, the ST-694 GlobalTag. ...

... "The satellite-based global RFID device will be designed to provide tracking information in the harshest environmental conditions, be scalable, flexible, and deliver real-time visibility to those who need it, on a near global basis. The partners will work together to ensure that the ST-694 GlobalTag becomes HERO (Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) certified, and based on the ISO 18000-7 standard for active RFID, which will help promote interoperability with compatible networks and devices. Savi has provided the active RFID products for the U.S. DoD's In-Transit Visibility network, which is the world's largest RFID network that tracks about 35,000 conveyances daily across more than 4,000 locations and 40 countries. Asset owners, chemical, retail, defense, transportation companies, rail, suppliers faced with customer RFID mandates, ocean ports and terminal operators, exporters, importers and logistics service providers benefit from Savi's real-time solutions. " ...

Arphid RFID Interlinks Objects

Military or defense applications of networked RFID are viewed in the extreme, where all information flows are monitored and tracked using geographical data. ...

... "And a shaped-thing may in the future rely upon more efficient and ubiquitous radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, now often euphemistically termed as arphids. These RFID tags can be networked into a global system of positioning and identification: Your arphid monitors are hooked into the satellite based Global Positioning System. Then your network becomes a mobile system of interlinked objects ... " ...
