OmniAir Consortium® announces that the OmniAir Texas Plugfest & Connected Vehicle Workshop, has reached a maximum capacity of 150 attendees and is now SOLD OUT! We have closed registration for the Plugfest testing and policy workshop.
OmniAir Texas Plugfest is the premier testing event for Connected Vehicle technologies. Hosted by Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the event will take place the week of October 22-26 at the RELLIS Campus at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. OmniAir® Plugfests provide DSRC-based vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device manufacturers to test their devices in advance of applying for OmniAir certification.
Representatives from 50 companies from around the world will be participating in OmniAir Texas Plugfest, which features 300 test sessions, across nearly 20 test stations, operated by leading test labs, test tool providers from across Europe, Asia, and North America.
“The world is coming to Texas for this Plugfest,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “The strong participation we are seeing at OmniAir Plugfests from device manufacturers, suppliers, OEMs, and deploying agencies is evidence that the demand for V2X is strong and is only getting stronger.”
