Savi Technology and Qualcomm launch product integration initiative to deliver total supply-chain visibility and security
June 14, 2002
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. & SAN DIEGO -- Today at the National Cargo Security Conference, Savi Technology, the leading provider of real-time solutions for global supply chain security and asset management, and QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM), the leader in mobile communications for the transportation industry, announced a strategic product initiative to integrate the companies' tracking, management and security products into a comprehensive hardware/software solution for in-transit visibility and security of transportation containers and their contents for the maritime, rail and truck industries. Developed in response to requests from existing and prospective customers, this integrated solution will create a comprehensive system for transportation carriers, service providers and owners of supply chain assets to manage, monitor and secure shipments. The product initiative combines QUALCOMM's market-leading OmniTRACS(R) and OmniExpress(R) mobile communications systems, network operations and fleet management, with Savi's proven real-time solutions that leverage their latest, sixth generation, active radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology -- including electronic security seals -- with enterprise software that improves the management and security of supply chain assets. The result of this integrated product initiative is the first real-time solution that encompasses the visibility and management of fleet operations with management and security of supply chain assets, such as maritime containers, reusable transport containers, truck trailers, rail cars and intermodal containers. "This alliance builds on a productive history of collaboration between QUALCOMM and Savi Technology," said Chris Wolfe, president of QUALCOMM Wireless Business Solutions. "Integrating wide-area networks with local-area networks for the purpose of comprehensive asset management is a powerful idea. We look forward to working with Savi to make continuous monitoring, real-time inventory visibility and supply chain security a reality." Qualcomm Inc. Savi Technology
