OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, is bringing our Plugfest back to Florida!
Join us May 7-9 at the world-class SunTrax Test Facility in Auburndale, FL., where innovative connected vehicle testing in laboratory and field environments will prepare devices for the subsequent USDOT interoperability tests from May 12-16. This event highlights the strong collaboration between OmniAir and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to advance connectivity in transportation.
This year’s Plugfest is significantly enriched by our partnership with the USDOT Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO). Together, we will deliver the most comprehensive OmniAir Plugfest to date, providing participants with the opportunity to refine and optimize their technologies in preparation for the interoperability tests.
Register before March 14 to take advantage of Early Bird pricing!
The OmniAir Florida Plugfest will feature comprehensive testing for C-V2X devices, including OBUs, RSUs, and modules.
Participants can take advantage of state-of-the-art testing at SunTrax’s test track and host facilities. Their track includes actual and simulated infrastructure elements and vehicles.
This is your opportunity to show your corporate commitment to achieving conformance and interoperability with your C-V2X technology. Three days of conformance testing, followed by a full-day conference for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and networking and four more days of interoperability testing. The OmniAir Plugfest will be used as a gating mechanism to move forward to interoperability testing, and high-performing, certified devices will be considered for Georgia DOT showcase deployment ahead of the ITS World Congress.
The OmniAir Florida Plugfest will test LTE-V2X (C-V2X PC5) devices for conformance, interoperability, and security in laboratory and field environments. Devices under test will have access to comprehensive testing of the following test cases provided by OmniAir staff, member test laboratories, test equipment, and PKI provider personnel. Testing teams will earn a Certificate of Plugfest Participation
