Savi EchoPoint™

Savi’s Series 600 RFID hardware products including SaviTags, Savi SensorTags, Savi Fixed and Mobile Readers, and Savi Signposts are built on Savi's innovative RFID technology: EchoPoint.  EchoPoint employs a unique multi-frequency design and three-element system architecture to achieve both reliable long-range communication and short-range locating capability.

Rather than using a traditional tag and reader system architecture, EchoPoint adds a third unique element — the signpost — to create a highly flexible, low-cost architecture that can map into your existing business processes. Savi Signposts communicate with tags over a short-range inductive (123 kHz) link, and SaviTags communicate with readers over a long-range 433 MHz UHF frequency (100m). Signposts, which can be fixed, mobile or handheld, notify tags of their location when tagged items pass through dock doors or other portals, or are placed in specific storage locations or parking slots. Tags then communicate their location back to the reader, along with a unique recognition code. This capability enables items to be tracked effectively and accurately throughout the supply chain, with the distinct ability to obtain accurate location information.

With richer functionality than existing active RFID systems, EchoPoint products are designed to provide a unique and cost-effective modular system for maximum flexibility in deploying active RFID-based networks. EchoPoint is a  sixth generation RFID technology that breaks all cost and functionality barriers in active RFID technology.
