Tag: C-V2X
OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, applauds the Federal Communications Commission for its decision yesterday to grant a waiver to the Joint Waiver Parties, allowing the deployment of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.895-5.925 GHz band ahead of final service rules.
The Joint Waiver Parties represent the breadth of the C-V2X ecosystem, including several automakers, state departments of transportation, and device manufacturers.
“Yesterday’s action by the FCC to grant the waiver request is an important step toward the deployment of life-saving C-V2X technology in the United States” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “OmniAir’s independent, third-party testing and certification programs for C-V2X OBUs, RSUs, and modules will help to ensure that C-V2X devices are truly ready to deploy.”
OmniAir Certification and Conformance Testing Program for C-V2X radio devices helps to realize these “trusted communications” between the roadside infrastructure, vehicles, and other transportation users to enhance public safety.
OmniAir launched the world’s first, and only full-stack, certification program for C-V2X (LTE-V2X PC5) radios in 2021. OmniAir Certification helps to assure deployers of C-V2X technology that devices conform to industry standards and meet minimum interoperability and security requirements.
Next week, OmniAir Consortium will bring together C-V2X device manufacturers, test laboratories, and test equipment providers from around the world for the OmniAir Florida Plugfest. This week-long testing event, hosted in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, and University of Florida Transportation Institute, offer rigorous testing for over 20 C-V2X devices laboratory and field environments to help ensure device readiness for deployment.
