NATO and Savi Technology Sign Agreement

A contract has been signed by Savi Technology and NATO. This contract awards Savi Technology the ability to help NATO track the number of multi-national defense consignments using RFID. The defense consignments exist between Europe and Afghanistan.

According to Brent Bingham of NATO summed up why this decision was made: “NATO has concluded that this type of system can greatly contribute to the Commander’s situational awareness in the logistics arena. The RFID air-bridge built last year by Savi Technology from Central Europe into the theatre of operations confirmed that this technology meets the general requirements to operate on a multinational basis,” he stated.

Bingham went on to say, “Our objective now is to upgrade the network so that member nations can use their own tracking systems for national consignments while also enabling them to be interoperable with NATO’s RF network for multi-national, joint force operations.”
