OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces the Spirent, TTsuite-WAVE-LTEV has earned OmniAir Qualified Test Equipment (OQTE) status.

The TTsuite-WAVE-LTEV is a test solution for testing C-V2X protocol over a C-V2X interface that contains a set of interoperable scripts for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) standards used in North America, Korea, and Taiwan. Conformance testing of C-V2X devices is conducted through OmniAir’s Test Control Interface (TCIv3).

Certification is based on the following standards and OmniAir test cases:

• 763-OA – IEEE 1609.2 Security Services for Applications and Management Messages
• 765-OA – IEEE 1609.3 Network Services 
• 767-OA – SAE J2945/1 Basic Safety Messages (BSM) for V2V Safety Communications

The test equipment will validate OmniAir-developed test cases for compliance of  C-V2X devices, and the solution helps ensure cross-vendor interoperability of C-V2X devices supporting those standards.

“Spirent earning OQTE status for their TTsuite-WAVE-LTEV will allow OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories to conduct automated testing of the full stack for CV2X devices,  said Jason Conley, Executive Director. “Automated testing provides a high level of confidence and repeatability and will speed up the time needed to conduct certification testing of C-V2X devices vs. manually. ”

This solution supported two test stations at last month’s OmniAir Ann Arbor Plugfest that ran tests for nearly a dozen C-V2X devices over the week.

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 OQTE program assesses and qualifies test equipment, systems, and tools used in the industry. Only those test systems and equipment that successfully pass OmniAir’s audit process to become a qualified product and are eligible for use by OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories for certification testing.

OmniAir Consortium certified devices, qualified test equipment/tools, and authorized test laboratories, including the TTsuite-WAVE-LTEV, are located in our certified products catalog at www.omniair.org/certified-products/.
