[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nIndustry team demonstrates verification test tool that advances adoption\nof key VII technology\n\n\nTORONTO, Nov. 17 /CNW/ - ITS World Congress, New York - Sirit Inc.\n("Sirit") (TSX: SI), a global provider of radio frequency identification\n("RFID") technology, today announced during the ITS World Congress show in New\nYork City that they will demonstrate a Dedicated Short Range Communications\n("DSRC") Packet Sniffer at the ITS World Congress using the event's "11th\nAvenue Theatre" Vehicle Infrastructure Integration ("VII") technology\ndemonstration area.\n\n\nThe Packet Sniffer is a listening device used to independently verify\ntransmitted DSRC data and protocols. The new test tool is the first device to\nverify IEEE 802.11p and 1609 standards based "Over-the-Air" transmissions. It\nincorporates the NTRU Aerolink(TM) 1609.2 Security and is the first\nOmniAir-Approved Test Tool. OmniAir's mission is to develop and offer the\nmeans to provide conformance, certification and interoperability test services\nto increase confidence in DSRC technology and its deployment.\n\n\nDSRC Overview\n\n\n5.9GHz DSRC is a compelling VII technology designed to provide\nstandards-based, interoperable, low latency, highly secure, high-bandwidth\nvehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications enabling a\nbroad range of applications. Its development represents a critical milestone\ntoward the realization of the combined goals of reduced accidents and\nfatalities as well as improved mobility - all on one platform. A prominent\nattribute of 5.9GHz DSRC is that it's based on open standards and can be built\nby any supplier. This creates a more competitive environment, improves\ncontestability, efficiency, and innovation. Still, in the transport community\nfunding is limited, particularly for new technology. For those working with\ntight budgets, OmniAir verification increases confidence that VII technology\nis performing as planned. This ultimately increases acceptance and in turn\naids deployment.\n\n\nDSRC Benefits\n\n\nAs an independent single-channel listening device, the 5.9GHz Packet\nSniffer is a low-cost autonomous protocol analysis tool that verifies\ntransmitted data against published VII protocols. The software runs on a\nWindows(R) XP laptop and captures...
