OmniAir Welcomes Unex as our Newest Member
OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces that Unex has joined OmniAir® as an Associate Level Member.
Founded in 1997 in Taiwan, Unex Technology Corporation is a leading provider of pioneering V2X software and hardware solutions. Through various partnerships, they have identified ways to deploy V2X (DSRC and C-V2X) technology across various applications.
Unex also developed a highly integrated and user-friendly software development kit used by all Unex product families of System-on-Module (SOM), OBU, and RSU, including standard compliant V2X stack, advanced IEEE and ETSI communication security, and sample applications in source code.
Unex On-Board Units (OBUs) have been utilized in over 200 AV and C-ITS project deployments. Unex was the first to deploy C-V2X Roadside Units (RSUs) in a live field environment as part of the Taiwan Smart Transportation initiative.
“We are excited to welcome leading V2X technology provider like Unex as our newest OmniAir Member,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir Consortium. “We look forward to relying on their expertise and experience as we improve and expand our C-V2X certification programs worldwide.”
As a member of the OmniAir Consortium, Unex will help shape OmniAir’s test specifications and procedures by participating in technical committees and industry working groups. OmniAir’s goal is to ensure the availability of trusted communications devices that conform to industry standards and meet minimum interoperability and security requirements.
OmniAir offers independent, third-party testing and certification for tolling and connected vehicles, including DSRC and C-V2X (LTE-V2X PC5) radios.
