OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, applauds the Federal Communications Commission for its decision to grant a set of 17 waivers, paving the way for these petitioners to deploy cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.895-5.925 GHz band.

“Today’s action by the FCC to grant these additional waivers is another important step toward deploying life-saving C-V2X technology in the United States,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “OmniAir stands ready to help ensure the availability of trusted, certified C-V2X devices.”

OmniAir Certification and Conformance Testing Program for C-V2X radio devices help to realize these “trusted communications” between the roadside infrastructure, vehicles, and other transportation users to enhance public safety.

OmniAir launched the world’s only full-stack certification program for C-V2X (LTE-V2X PC5) radios in 2021.  OmniAir Certification helps to assure deployers of C-V2X technology that devices conform to industry standards and meet minimum interoperability and security requirements.

Although granting these waivers is a significant step, OmniAir encourages the Commission to issue its final technical and services rules as soon as possible to support full national deployment.
