Savi Unveils New Low-Cost, Simplified RTLS Wireless System to Locate Assets in
Facilities and Yards

Savi's Real Time Locating System Offers New Asset Location Approach That
Breaks Through Cost, Complexity and Configuration Barriers

WASHINGTON, June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Savi Technology, a Lockheed
Martin (NYSE: LMT) company, today unveiled a wireless Real Time Locating
System (RTLS) to automatically locate assets in facilities or industrial yards
that's far less expensive and easier to implement than conventional RTLS
systems. The announcement was made here at the National Press Club along with
availability of two other Savi innovations - a hybrid RFID/SatCom GlobalTag
and upgraded SmartChain 6.0 Adaptive Application suite - on the company's 20th
year in business.

Savi RTLS breaks through the "cost, complexity and configuration barriers" of
other RTLS solutions that are based on Wi-Fi, WLAN or other wireless data
technologies. A DASH7 technology based on ISO-compliant active,
battery-powered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Savi RTLS can slash
time spent locating assets while improving operational efficiency.

Savi RTLS also performs well in harsh and heavy-metal environments, and is
ideally suited for defense and government supply depots; heavy manufacturing
plants; job shops; oil and gas refineries; aerospace and automotive material,
repair and overhaul operations; hospitals; and, outdoor areas storing heavy
equipment such as trailers, chassis, containers, bulk emergency supplies,
power equipment, etc.

"Savi RTLS breaks through the cost, complexity and configuration barriers of
other RTLS solutions," said Steve Farrell, Savi Technology's vice president of
Hardware Engineering. "The Savi RTLS Solution adds a further dimension to our
growing portfolio of interoperable solutions that identify, track, and manage
assets, whether in-transit across the supply chain or at rest at a precise
location. Because of the elegant simplicity of our design, the Savi RTLS
Solution can be installed within hours at very low cost to reduce capital
infrastructure investments."

Conventional RTLS solutions can take weeks or months to install, requiring
complex site analyses and systems integration services to install multiple,
high-cost readers that are hard-wired into a central processer. This large
network of readers is required to determine the location of tagged assets
sending signals to the readers.

The Savi RTLS Solution offers a much simpler approach with dramatically less
reader infrastructure. The Savi solution utilizes low-cost, battery-operated
"Location Markers," which are about the size and shape of hockey pucks. These
Location Markers can easily be placed most anywhere in a facility or yard.
Location Markers communicate their "reference points" to assets equipped with
Savi's new ST-632 active RFID asset tag. The RFID tag collects and transmits
its identity and nearby reference point to Savi SmartChain(R) software, which
calculates that tag's location and displays it on a site map of the customer's
facility.

Because of the ease-of-implementation of the Location Markers, the Savi
solution also is highly scalable and flexible in the most challenging and
complex environments. The ST-632 tags also have lights and buzzers on them
that can be activated, if necessary, to help staff quickly find the asset's
location.
