Savi Announces New 'UnwiredPlanet(TM)' Licensing Program for Wireless Sensor Networking
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Building on its successful ISO 18000-7 licensing program, Lockheed Martin's (NYSE: LMT) Savi today
announced the launch of UnwiredPlanet(TM), its next-generation patent licensing program with reduced
pricing and a broader portfolio of wireless sensor networking patents.
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
Developers of DASH7-based products require a license from Savi Technology and can choose from a

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.
