We need you. OmniAir® needs your unique talents and abilities to move our organization forward in meaningful ways. We currently have five open elected positions.
 
We seek qualified candidates who possess the requisite judgment, experience, and expertise to serve in this leadership capacity. We seek candidates like you, who reflect the diversity of our membership, and who are willing and able to dedicate the necessary time and resources to help OmniAir advance its mission to promote certification and interoperability for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles.

OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces that Transcore, a pioneer in the use of RFID in the toll industry, has earned OmniAir Certification® for its Encompass® 6 Multiprotocol Reader.

As more and more municipalities and states add electronic toll systems to highways, bridges, and tunnels, and convert HOV lanes to HOT lanes, having a transponder that can go “anywhere” the vehicle goes is a significant benefit for both drivers and commercial transportation companies, said Jason Conley, Executive Director for OmniAir®. “OmniAir Certification provides assurance to deploying agencies that devices conform to industry standards and meet minimum interoperability and performance requirements.”

TransCore’s Multiprotocol Reader is a fully integrated, self-contained 915 MHz wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) reader designed for high-performance open road tolling and certified for the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (6C) protocol.

OmniAir Certification offers independent, third-party testing and certification for RFID tolling tags and readers, as well as connected vehicle technologies, including both C-V2X and DSRC OBUs and RSUs.

OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, today filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission, in support of waiver requests by Georgia Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, and Maryland State Highway Administration to deploy and operate Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.895 – 5.925 GHz Band.

“OmniAir urges the Commission to grant the C-V2X Waver Requests as soon as possible, and to publish final C-V2X technical and service rules.” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium.  

Granting waiver requests will help to provide certainty to state and local governments preparing to deploy connected vehicle and connected infrastructure across the United States.  Waivers, and ultimately, final C-V2X technical and service rules are necessary for equipment certification programs that help to ensure conformance and interoperability.

Independent, third-party testing and certification programs provided by OmniAir® are critical to ensuring V2X communications are “trusted” across devices and applications. V2X deployers, including infrastructure owner-operators, automotive OEMs, and device manufacturers, rely on OmniAir Certification to demonstrate that the C-V2X devices they deploy will provide “trusted” communications.  

In 2021, OmniAir launched the world’s first certification program for C-V2X radios operating in the 5.9 GHz Band.  OmniAir Certified® conform to industry standards, and meet minimal interoperability, security and performance requirements.
