Commercial Initiative Smart Secure Tradelanes™ (SST)
• Global Security Network – Initial Implementations in 2002/2003
• Business Problem: Low visibility to security status and location of ISO Container movements
• Solution: Transportation Security provides baseline capability in container security consistent with government requirements Synchronize with CSI, OSC, C-TPAT, as well as the 24 Hour Advance Manifest Information Rule
• Project Brief: SST is a private/public initiative to help secure the global supply chain. Initiated by Strategic Council of Security Technology
• Lessons Learned: Viable global solution. Value of information extends beyond security to enable better supply chain management.
• 72 Participants and Partners representing 70% of US Ocean Container Imports, including:
• 16 Ports• 11 Tradelanes• 20+ Shippers
• 4 times ROI in Phase I61,500,000 World Import / Export TEU’s $307.8 billion Value of US Imports via Container

Conveyance Types Across Supply Chain

Bar Code

Active RF
Passive RF
• Supply chain has small objects at either end and big objects (containers) in the middle.
• Shipper and retailer lose track of their goods in the middle.
• Long range technology is needed for this ‘middle’ transportation domain.
• Short range small asset technologies at either end.

Selection Considerations
• Global operation – frequency selection
• High metal environment• Flexibility• Signal Penetration• Transaction rates/speed• Tag density per reader• Long range vs resolution• Long life – power consumption• High data storage• Cost• Size• Mounting location and RF
visibility• Commercial availability• Environmental robustness• Reliability• Ease of use• Communications• Networkability

Regulatory /Spectrum Issues
• 433Mhz for RFID– Good RF Characteristics :
• Good penetration and propagation with reasonable antenna size– Widest Global acceptability
• One of the few Frequencies acceptable for RFID both in the US AND EUROPE. Rest of the world tends to harmonize with one or the other.
• De facto standard for DoD in more than 45 countries• Exceptions : Japan, China, Korea – now opening this for RFID.
• General Design
– RFID devices are short range devices - by design– Good sharing of spectrum is necessary even for our own devices.
• Specific Areas for Improvement– Rule change on duty cycle, allowing longer transmissions durations for RFID, is a key change. The
FCC Recently increased duration of transmissions in port environments for greater data transfers. This would allow container manifests to be uploaded and downloaded much faster.
– Any assistance in getting ITU and other National bodies to embrace similar regulation will be very welcome.
• Overall– FCC has been very open to helping RFID industry provide value to their customers while sharing
spectrum. – As our customers request more features, we would like to continue to work with the FCC in enabling
those capabilities.
