NATO to Upgrade RFID Network

"The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) has awarded Savi Technology (Sunnyvale, Calif.) a new contract to upgrade and sustain operational support of the RFID-based network Savi built last year to track multinational defense consignments between Europe and Afghanistan. The contract followed a year-long assessment of the RFID �backbone� Savi deployed for NATO. The contract calls for purchase of additional active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers as well as network wide software enhancements to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) supply chain, stretching from the Netherlands and Germany through Uzbekistan to Kabul in Afghanistan."
