Savi Technology's CMS Solution Reports For Duty

The new Savi SmartChain Consignment Management Solution (CMS) from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Savi Technology will enable allied defense forces engaged in multinational deployments to leverage each other's RFID networks for seamless, real-time visibility of consignments. The CMS Solution bridges visibility gaps of consignments as they move through military supply-chain networks to help prevent military supplies from being misdirected, misplaced, delayed or needlessly ordered.

The CMS RFID hardware is compliant with ISO 18000-7 standards, and the data carried on the tags and in the software meets NATO Standardization Agreements.

Therefore, the originator of RFID-tagged consignments can be identified when the tag is read in compatible RFID networks that are operated by NATO or an allied nation. The consignment's location and status information are then automatically updated in the CMS of the country originating the consignments.

Meru Networks Heightens Wireless Security

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Meru Networks has launched its wireless security solution for the protection of networks at the Radio Frequency (RF) signal level. The Meru Security Services Module works in combination with Meru's wireless LAN product portfolio to achieve an advanced level of wireless LAN security. The Meru Services Module features Meru's AirShield technology, which uses advanced microscanning, radio-scrambling and transmission-jamming techniques to ensure military-grade, radio-frequency security. The module is installed on the Meru WLAN System's controller and can be used with Meru Access Points or Radio Switches.

Motorola's Motomesh Targets Municipal Networks

Motorola announced the general availability of its Motomesh solution for municipal wireless networks. The multiradio, high-performance mesh-networking system aims to integrate the needs of public safety, public works and public access on a single network, leveraging multiple radios in both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands. The Motomesh architecture supports up to four radio networks in a single access point. The radios on the unlicensed 2.4-GHz and the newly licensed 4.9-GHz public-safety spectrum can be combined in a single network for municipalities to provide Wi-Fi access to public users, license-free mobile broadband to public-works users and dedicated licensed network connectivity and security for public-safety users.
