OmniAir Consortium®, in partnership with SCMS Manager, will host the OmniAir Michigan Plugfest the week of October 6-10 at the world-class American Center for Mobility (ACM) automotive test facility and proving grounds in Ypsilanti, Michigan, just outside of Detroit.

“We are excited to bring OmniAir Plugfest back to Michigan—the beating heart of the global automotive industry,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “This OmniAir Plugfest will help to ensure the availability of trusted, interoperable C-V2X technology is ready to deploy across our nation—and around the world.”

OmniAir Plugfests are the premier testing events for connected vehicles.  These events bring together leading automotive OEMs, Tier One Suppliers, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology providers, test laboratories, test systems providers, and infrastructure owner-operators (IOO) for a week of comprehensive testing in laboratory and field environments.  In addition to testing, OmniAir Plugfests feature technical learning sessions throughout the week, a one-day workshop, and live technology demonstrations.

The theme of this Plugfest will be interoperability and readiness for deployment.  Participants will have the opportunity for device-to-device testing, V2X application testing, and security, along with standards conformance testing. Testing will be available for C-V2X OBUs, RSUs, and modules.

This year’s Plugfest will incorporate SCMS Manager profiles and certificate policies, thanks to a new collaboration between OmniAir and the SCMS Manager.  By integrating security certificate management into Plugfest activities, participants will have the opportunity to validate devices not only for OmniAir Certification and interoperability, but also for compliance with critical V2X security policies. This ensures a more complete readiness path for real-world deployment.

OmniAir Plugfests are part of a comprehensive readiness program that helps engineering teams prepare for device certification and deployment.  OmniAir Certification ensures that deployers can trust V2X equipment and technology to be secure, interoperable, and compliant with industry standards.
