SaviTrak(TM) Intelligence Service Has Automatically Tracked Over 100,000 Shipments Through Free Trade Zone

BANGKOK and MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, February 23, 2010 - Western Digital and Royal Thai Customs continue to realize dramatic
process improvements, cost savings and quick customs clearances because of
more than 100,000 truck shipments that Savi Networks has monitored wirelessly
the past three years in Thailand. As a result of these ongoing supply chain
benefits (www.savinetworks.com/solutions/supplychain.html), Thai-based
TIFFA EDI Services Co. Ltd. and Western Digital have extended contracts for
the SaviTrak(TM) (www.savinetworks.com/solutions/index.html)
intelligence service for another year.

The ability to automatically validate, track and collaborate on the
status of truck trailers filled with high-performance hard drives has
streamlined supply chain business processes by 50 percent, reduced manpower
by 25 percent, cut Customs clearance steps by 60 percent and increased data
accuracy by up to 100 percent.

SaviTrak monitors the location and security (www.savinetworks.com/solutions/security.html)
of shipments locked with electronic seals as they're transported within a
Free Trade Zone, and automatically communicates status information to Royal
Thai Customs authorities. The shipments are automatically checked at key
locations such as manufacturing loading docks, entry and exit gates and
Customs inspection stations.

"Since 2007, we continue to discover new operational efficiencies and
security assurances in this cooperative project with Savi Networks, TIFFA and
Royal Thai Customs," said Khun Narong, director of logistics, Western
Digital-Thailand. "SaviTrak intelligence gives us with a competitive edge
that streamlines processes and speeds shipments from Thailand to the United
States
."

"The Free Trade Zone project with Western Digital and TIFFA in Thailand
exemplifies how today's advanced tracking systems can deliver quick, tangible
benefits that improve the efficient flow of global cargo shipments," said
Neil Smith, chief executive officer of Savi Networks.

The operation involves agreements between Savi Networks, Western Digital
and TIFFA EDI Services Co. Ltd., www.tiffaedi.com, a 100% Thai
nationally owned and operated company that runs an electronic document
exchange service center specializing in Customs formality and logistics.

Savi Networks, www.savinetworks.com, a joint venture between

efficiency and security of global trade. SaviTrak(TM) is an intelligence
