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.  




    A full version of this press release is posted at http://bit.ly/3vl3dK


    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.
