OmniAir Consortium and the Intelligent Transport Society of Korea (ITS Korea) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining areas for collaboration to advance the testing and certification of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technologies in the Asia-Pacific region.

The agreement signed by ITS Korea Executive Director, Kyoung-Hwon KIM, and OmniAir Executive Director, Jason Conley, is focused on promoting conformance and interoperability of C-V2X technologies in Korea.

“This landmark MOU lays the foundation for a strong partnership between ITS Korea and OmniAir Consortium, focused on the deployment of trusted C-V2X equipment in Korea and around the world,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director for OmniAir.  “Our goal is to promote interoperability and the growth of a global market for connected vehicles and connected infrastructure technologies.”

The MOU details areas of potential joint activity, including:

  • Conducting one more joint Korea-based Plugfest testing events for C-V2X technologies.
  • Use of OmniAir test specifications for use in certification of devices for the Korean market.
  • Joint identification of standards and protocols in support of interoperability and conformance in Korea.
  • Joint identification of candidate test labs in Korea as potential OmniAir Authorized Test labs.
  • Cooperation to align U.S. and Korean interoperability conformance and certification programs.
  • Formation of a joint Connected Vehicle working group, as well as an executive-level Cooperation Committee, comprised of representative members from each organization.

This agreement updates the original MOU from November 13, 2018.  The organizations have also entered into a separate license agreement which addresses the use of OmniAir test specifications for C-V2X testing and certification in Korea.
