Dear OmniAir Members and Supporters, 

I want to share some news about OmniAir Consortium and our plans for the coming year. 

Since our founding nearly 20 years ago, OmniAir Consortium’s mission has remained consistent—promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles.  Our belief has been and continues to be, that the availability of certified and interoperable devices will help to increase market choice, reduce costs, and lead to more ubiquitous deployments. 

Trust is essential for the connected vehicle ecosystem to thrive. OmniAir builds trust through independent, third-party testing and certification. Our certification programs are relied upon every day by infrastructure owner operators and OEMs to ensure that technologies conform to industry standards, and meet interoperability, security, and performance requirements.

Over the years, OmniAir and our members to accomplish great things, including developing the world’s first independent, third-party certification programs for DSRC, C-V2X, and RFID tolling technologies. 

OmniAir Working Groups continue to advance the state of practice for connected vehicle and tolling testing in areas as diverse as V2X hardware and applications, RFID tolling, road user charge (RUC), cybersecurity, and aftermarket safety devices to protect vulnerable road users. 

OmniAir Plugfest events bring together the connected vehicle industry and experts from across the globe for a week of connected vehicle testing in laboratory and field environments, workshops, and networking. 

A Year of Accomplishments

Thanks to the contributions of our volunteer members, OmniAir has had some significant accomplishments. In 2023, we have:

  • Launched the first comprehensive testing certification program for C-V2X RSUs.
  • Authorized field test sites in Europe and North America.
  • Welcomed our first OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratory in Taiwan.
  • Completed over a dozen test documents for multi-protocol tolling certification.
  • Released the OmniAir Test Control Interface as an open-source testing tool.
  • Hosted our first virtual security testing event focused on testing to the 1609.2.1.
  • Started a new OmniAir Working Group focused on V2X Aftermarket Safety Devices.

Next month, OmniAir members from around the world will gather in Taipei for our first connected vehicle testing event in Asia. 

Looking Ahead to 2024

OmniAir and our members will continue to build on this momentum in 2024. OmniAir Working Groups will be focused on several exciting projects and activities:

  • C-V2X Aftermarket Safety Device (ASD) certification.
  • Road usage charge (RUC) and V2X-based payments.
  • Multi-protocol RFID tolling certification.
  • V2X safety applications and universal alert messages.
  • Sensors for connected intersections.
  • Plugfests in North America and Europe.
  • Workshops on timely topics including 5G NR, cybersecurity, and RUC certification.

Planning for the Future

OmniAir must ensure we have the necessary staff and resources to continue serving our members’ needs and fulfilling OmniAir’s mission.  

Like many organizations, OmniAir has been navigating an inflationary environment through prudent spending decisions and cost-cutting where warranted.

To continue to build for the future, we must adjust our dues structure for 2024. We recognize the challenge that some of our members face with increasing expenses. This will be our first dues adjustment in two years.

Working with OmniAir’s Board of Directors in planning for 2024, we have done our best to keep any dues increase minimal, especially for our public sector members.

Associate Public Sector                  $5,000 USD (unchanged)
Associate Private Sector                 $7,500 USD (vs $6,000 in 2023)

Executive Public Sector                   $11,000 US (vs $10,000 in 2023)
Executive Private Sector                  $15,000 USD (vs $12,000 in 2023)

OmniAir Sustaining Partner            $30,000 USD (unchanged)

Certification services fees and Plugfest testing fees will not increase. Members do have the option of upgrading to our OmniAir Sustaining Partner Program, which is inclusive of membership, certification services, and Plugfest fees. 

In the near future, we will provide additional information about dues renewals and packaged pricing options for savings. 

Conclusion 

We very much appreciate your continued support of OmniAir and its mission. It is only with the support and volunteer contributions of our members that we can be successful.

I hope to see many of you at our OmniAir Taipei Plugfest in a few short weeks.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the OmniAir team.

Thank you again.

Jason M. Conley
Executive Director
