OmniAir® has certified the DSRC radio configuration, of the Dual-Mode C-V2X/DSRC MobiWAVE 2000 OBU. The MobiWAVE conforms to the Release 1 test cases generated from IEEE 802.11:2012 and 2016’s IEEE 1609, SAE J2735, and SAE J2945.1 standards applied in the Connected Vehicle transportation environment.

“Congratulations to Savari for earning its first OmniAir Certification for a V2X radio,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director for OmniAir. “OmniAir only awards certification to trusted communications devices that conform to industry standards, and meet minimum interoperability and security requirements.”

“Achieving OmniAir Certification for our MobiWAVE OBU is a major milestone in our mission to make the world’s roadways safer and smarter through the use of trusted and secure V2X solutions,” said Paul Sakamoto, Chief Operations Officer for Savari. “Earning OmniAir Certification for a V2X solution is not easy. The OmniAir Certification mark is a sign of the quality and interoperability that the automotive market is demanding.”

OmniAir® has offered certification for DSRC-V2X devices since 2017 and is preparing to launch the world’s first comprehensive certification program for C-V2X devices (PC5), in the fourth quarter of 2020.

This new program will help to meet the growing demand by deploying agencies for trusted communications devices for connected vehicles and connected infrastructure.
