OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces the NORDSYS GmbH, waveBEE® touch has earned OmniAir Qualified Test Equipment (OQTE) status.
The waveBEE touch is an all-in-one system for message level, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) analysis and is designed as a robust tool for everyday use. Depending on the application area, the system offers a wide range of display options: from the visualization of all received messages on an interactive map to the analysis of the RAW format of the individual message.
This enables V2X developers, test engineers, and plant technicians to receive extensive support in the development, installation, and maintenance processes of all V2X systems, regardless of the system’s manufacturer, to be tested.
The waveBEE touch system has proven itself both in the laboratory and the field with automotive OEMs, Tier1 suppliers, engineering service providers, C-ITS operators, V2X test field operators, test site operators, manufacturers of traffic systems and traffic test laboratories.
The waveBEE touch has three operating modes:
Live: Shows live, and on-site all data received over the air interface in a clear map display with direct analysis of the V2X messages in selectable levels of detail.
Record: Records all received data in addition to live mode display and analysis. This means that all data traffic on the air interface can also be evaluated and analyzed at a later point in time. Exporting data is possible in a PCAP format to make the recording available to downstream systems.
Playback: Enables the playback of recorded V2X data to view self-made recordings directly on-site and evaluate them in detail. Furthermore, this mode also enables the import and thus the playback and analysis of PCAP recordings from third-party systems.
This tool played an integral role in last month’s OmniAir Ann Arbor Plugfest in both field and laboratory settings.
OmniAir Certification for V2X devices assures automotive OEMs, Tier One suppliers, and deploying agencies that OmniAir Certified devices conform to industry standards and meet minimum performance and interoperability requirements.
OmniAir’s OQET program assesses and qualifies test equipment, systems, and test tools used in the industry. Only those test systems and equipment that successfully pass OmniAir’s rigorous audit process become a qualified product and are eligible for use by OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories for certification testing.
All OmniAir Consortium certified devices, qualified test equipment/tools, and authorized test laboratories, including the waveBEE touch, are located on our certified products catalog at www.omniair.org/certified-products/.

OmniAir VIP Day at the Ann Arbor Plugfest
OmniAir cordially invites V2X deploying agencies, government officials, and decision-makers to better understand our comprehensive C-V2X readiness and certifications programs. We will provide a unique opportunity for VIP guests to glimpse behind the Plugfest testing curtain to achieve this goal.
The morning starts with a buyers presentation by Mary Lynn Buonarosa, Project Manager of the Human Factors Division of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). She will present on the ATCMTD Smart Intersections project and provide details on the project, its technology needs, and expectations moving forward to help drive C-V2X technology advancement.
VIPs will be given a tour of the Mcity Test Facility and see how OmniAir tests new technologies in a safe, controlled environment, which is essential before deploying any connected and automated vehicle technology on public streets, roads, and highways.
OmniAir staff and representatives from test laboratories, test equipment providers, device makers, deploying agencies, and C-V2X implementors will be on hand to answer technical questions about their role OmniAir certification testing and its importance to the industry. This tour will take guests to the restricted bench testing area and see application testing in the field environment.
There will also be C-V2X demonstrations. One of particular importance focuses on vulnerable road users that showcase bicycle-to-vehicle interactions—Commsignia, Spoke, and Audi will host this demo.
If you would like to attend the VIP Day or know of someone who should not miss it, please contact Ryan Hall, Vice President of Business Development, at rhall@omniair.org for consideration.-
