OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, is pleased to announce that Kapsch’s Janus MPR-2.4 Interior Reader and Janus MPR-4.1 Exterior Reader have earned OmniAir Certification for Open Road Tolling under the 6C (MPD)-RFID R2.0 conformance assessment program.
Both devices were rigorously tested by DEKRA at their laboratory in Sterling, Virginia, with field evaluations conducted at SunTrax in Auburndale, Florida. The Kapsch Janus readers demonstrated compliance with Release 2 test cases for ISO/IEC 18000-63 (6C) single- and multi-protocol UHF RFID tolling in transportation environments.
“Congratulations to Kapsch TrafficCom North America on earning OmniAir Certification for two Kapsch Janus readers,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “OmniAir Certification offers assurance to deploying agencies that tolling equipment meets rigorous standards conformance, interoperability, and performance requirements.”
Built on a flexible and scalable architecture, Kapsch’s JANUS Multi-Protocol Readers are designed to support all major North American tolling protocols. The MPR-2.4 and MPR-4.1 models are the industry’s only truly redundant multi-protocol readers, offering eight individual RF channels for flexible and cost-effective deployments.
The MPR-2.4 interior reader, in particular, offers streamlined installation and integration, along with advanced time-sharing capabilities for multiple protocols—making it ideal for agencies seeking to optimize protocol capture and ease the transition to an interoperable future.
