The OmniAir Mcity Plugfest, hosted by the University of Michigan Transportation Institute, is less than two months away!  

Participating suppliers and device manufacturers will have the opportunity for extensive testing with leading vehicle-to-everything (V2X) testing experts.  Our initial test stations include OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories, four SCMS/PKI security providers, bench and field test tool providers, and leading systems integrators.  

So far, we have over 20 companies and organizations already registered to participate–to help ensure connected vehicle and connected infrastructure technologies are ready to deploy.  If you are interested in device testing, there is still time to register

The week-long testing event will focus on interoperability, conformance, and security testing in bench and field environments for cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) OBUs, RSUs, and modules. Testing will take place the week of May 13-17 at the world-class Mcity Test Facility in Ann Arbor, MI.

This Plugfest will have a particular focus on security and SCMS interoperability, with four SCMS providers confirmed to participate. Device interoperability and V2V and V2I safety applications and use cases will also be an area of focus.

OmniAir Plugfests are the premier testing events for connected vehicles, bringing together leading test laboratories, test equipment providers, and device manufacturers from around the world. 

In conjunction with the Plugfest, OmniAir will host a Connected Mobility Workshop, with live V2X technology and testing demonstrations at M-City.

Security and SCMS INTEroperability

Bench Conformance and Interoperability

Field and safety Application testing

In addition to the test stations, seven (7) device manufacturers have registered to take advantage of early registration discounts and priority in scheduling test sessions.

Devices Under Test (EARLY Registrants)

Companies interested in testing C-V2X chipsets, modules, radios, and software stacks, should register now.  Members can use the discount code: LASTCHANCE to save $1,000.00. Once the maximum capacity for testing slots is reached, OmniAir will close registrations.  Hurry and REGISTER NOW!

OmniAir seeks vendors interested in demonstrating cutting-edge vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, use cases, and testing techniques as well as presenters for the workshop that will bring together connected and smart mobility experts from around the world to share the latest in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) research, testing, and deployment.

OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, has published new security test cases for compliance with the IEEE 1609.2.1 standard. 

The OmniAir Certification test plan has been updated and includes 10 mandatory and 50 optional test cases to be used in certification testing of C-V2X on-board units (OBUs) and roadside units (RSUs).  OmniAir Members can access the published 764b-OA-TSS&TP-160921 document in the Members Only Portal.

The IEEE 1609.2.1 standard defines an interoperable and consistent way authorized devices interact with Security Credential Management System (SCMS) service providers. OmniAir® supports implementation of the 1609.2.1 standard to promote device security and to facilitate SCMS interoperability.

To assure interoperability, OmniAir has defined a set of test cases that can be used to evaluate an implementation of the 1609.2.1 certificate interface protocol. These new test cases are the latest additions to OmniAir’s full-stack certification program for cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) radios. 

“OmniAir and our members are committed to supporting interoperable and secure V2X equipment for deployment,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir. “Mandating these new security tests as part of the OmniAir Certification program will help to ensure the availability of trusted connected vehicle and infrastructure technologies.”

OmniAir’s test plan supports the SCMS Manager public profile for 1609.2.1, which defines a subset of the protocol options required for device interoperability in North America.  This trust by ensuring that all certified devices can interoperate with multiple certificate providers and receive critical Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and Certificate Trust List (CTL) updates to maintain regional interoperability.

The Federal Highway Administration’s recent $40 million Notice of Funding Opportunity for Accelerating V2X Deployment requires compliance with the 1609.2.1 standard, as a path to security credential management system (SCMS) and compatible devices.

OmniAir will offer 1609.2.1 testing at its upcoming OmniAir Mcity Plugfest in Ann Arbor, MI, supported by multiple SCMS providers from across North America, Europe, and Asia. This testing offers V2X device manufacturers a clear pathway to ensure compliance with the 1609.2.1 standards.
