UnwiredPlanet supersedes previous Savi licensing programs for DASH7(TM) (ISO 18000-7) technologies and is aimed at accelerating market adoption for DASH7 outside its initial deployments in the defense sector. Initial licensees are realizing benefits from DASH7's growing usage in the marketplace as evidenced by DoD's recent $429.4 million RFID III contract for DASH7 hardware, and further adoption by non-U.S. allied defense forces.
"As the market for wireless sensor networking matures, we are advancing Savi's patent licensing program to reflect new market growth and innovation opportunities," said David Stephens, CEO of Savi Technology. "DASH7 is the most compelling wireless sensor networking technology and extends well beyond its roots in defense supply chains."
UnwiredPlanet offers DASH7 developers a robust portfolio of Savi patents with reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) terms as well as zero upfront fees and a modest per unit royalty. Complete details of this program are available at http://bit.ly/2tzNoz
Developers of DASH7-based products require a license from Savi Technology and can choose from a growing list of third-party developer platforms, including ST Microelectronics' SmartSensor Hardware Developer's Toolkit. Developers who sign up for the UnwiredPlanet before February will receive special incentive discounts.
DASH7 operates in the globally available 433 MHz spectrum that requires no monthly service charges. DASH7 focuses on in-transit container and asset tracking as well as other applications such as tire pressure monitoring, smart grid metering and control, digital advertising, and cold chain management, among many others.
Savi Technology is a founding member of the DASH7 Alliance, www.dash7.org, a coalition of organizations from around the world.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), Savi is a leading provider of supply chain information and technology solutions and services. These capabilities include realtime solutions based on active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and other Automatic Identification and Data Capture technologies that improve the visibility, management and security of supply chain assets, shipments and consignments.
