OmniAir Certification is an independent, third-party testing and certification process from OmniAir Consortium that ensures that devices and systems conform to industry standards and meet interoperability and security requirements. OmniAir Certified® devices are tested using validated test cases, qualified test equipment, and accredited test laboratories and authorized field test sites.
OmniAir Consortium offers certification programs primarily for communications devices, systems, and applications used in transportation. OmniAir offers third-party testing and certification programs for electronic toll collection equipment, including RFID transponders and readers, including both single and multi-protocol devices. OmniAir also offers certification programs for connected vehicle technologies, including vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, including cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) on-board units (OBU), roadside units (RSU), modules and aftermarket V2X (AVD) devices. OmniAir is developing new certification programs for V2X-based tolling, network V2X (V2N) and V2X safety applications.
Plugfests are optional but strongly encouraged.
- OmniAir hosts two Plugfest readiness testing events per year.
- Plugfests provide opportunities to test devices with others for security, conformance, and interoperability.
- Many Infrastructure Owner-Operators (IOOs) request proof of Plugfest participation in RFPs if a product is not yet certified.
Upcoming Plugfest dates are posted on the OmniAir website.
