Orbcomm and Savi Technology won a five-year Defense Department contract to provide radio frequency identification tags and other sensor technologies using Orbcomm’s global communications networks. The intent is to enhance the visibility and security of government cargo in transit, Orbcomm said in a press release (http://bit.ly/NV3MbO). Orbcomm’s advanced tracking and monitoring solutions will give government customers the current location of their cargo “and send real-time alerts for security breaches and other anomalies,” Orbcomm said.
