Numerex and Savi to develop satellite tracking system

The hybrid ST-694 GlobalTag is being developed to provide continuous monitoring and precise location information on assets for defence, public sector and commercial customers. According to the companies, it will provide a cost-effective solution for a growing market for both spot-level and ongoing in-transit visibility of mobile supply chain assets.

The solution leverages Numerex’s strength as a leading provider of full-service, highly secure M2M (machine-to-machine) network services and solutions and Savi’s capabilities in providing a full range of integrated automatic identification technology (AIT) product solutions.

“Savi provides a leading-edge technology behind the world’s largest RFID network in place today,” said Mike Marett, chief operating officer, Numerex Corp. “We believe that this powerful combination of expertise and automated technologies will advance supply chain monitoring and management capabilities from origin to final destination, resulting in higher levels of value for our customers.”
