OmniAir Certification is based on industry Standards and Requirements

OmniAir Consortium® Certification is an Independent Third-Party Certification program that assesses the conformance, interoperability, and security of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies used in transportation and connected vehicle applications. This certification program helps manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers demonstrate that their devices, such as V2X communication modules, roadside units, and on-board units, follow the industry standards and specifications for over-the-air, trusted communications.

The certification process involves rigorous testing of devices to verify their compliance with established standards, including those defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and other relevant industry organizations.

The testing evaluates the device’s ability to transmit and receive messages, maintain connectivity, and adhere to security protocols. Certified devices are granted the OmniAir Certification mark, indicating their compliance with the consortium’s requirements (test specifications).

OmniAir Consortium Certification provides assurance to stakeholders, including automakers, transportation agencies, and technology providers, that certified devices will connect and operate within the larger ecosystem of connected vehicles and intelligent transportation systems. It promotes conformance, interoperability and security, enabling the deployment of advanced transportation technologies and accelerating the adoption of autonomous vehicles with connectivity.
