After convening in Munich and Boston earlier this year, RTI’s DDS User’s Group hosted its Silicon Valley edition of the Connext Conference last week. From its inaugural event in London over four years ago, the conference has served as a collaborative forum where DDS users share real‑world experien

During a recent Connext Podcast episode, industry experts Rajive Joshi and Fernando Crespo‑Sanchez highlighted the hurdles of building and scaling connectivity in Industrial IoT. Their discussion underscores how a data‑centric connectivity framework—where applications interact directly through data

“Make sure you tell them about the software systems operating the lab,” my team reminded me as I prepared to lead a tour of RTI’s Industrial IoT (IIoT) Lab during the Silicon Valley edition of the Connext Conference. While the lab’s walls are lined with servers, Raspberry Pis, and other hardware, i

In recent years, the healthcare ecosystem has evolved dramatically, driven by three overarching megatrends. These forces are reshaping how care is delivered, how costs are managed, and how value is created across the industry. Major technology firms—Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft—are investing

Intro 2018 marked a pivotal year for RTI, as we expanded our content library to empower customers, partners, and advocates navigating the Industrial Internet of Things. Our mission? Deliver actionable value that addresses real‑time connectivity challenges. Podcasts Episode 22 – Clarifying the In

Real‑world testing is indispensable for distributed and autonomous systems, yet it can be prohibitively expensive. By capturing and replaying sensor data, teams can generate lasting value from each test session. Imagine a semi‑autonomous vehicle equipped with GPS, cameras, LiDAR, RADAR, inertial

In a landmark partnership, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the OpenFog Foundation have joined forces, creating a unified organization poised to spearhead the next generation of distributed computing across devices, fog, edge, and cloud. As Vice Chair of the IIC and one of the inaugural

Every February, the global leaders in health‑tech converge in Orlando for HIMSS19—a week of education, networking, and innovation that attracts 45,000 IT professionals from 90+ countries. The event is a launchpad for breakthroughs that redefine patient care. Technology That Will Shape Tomorrow’s He

This week, the Object Management Group® (OMG®) announced the launch of the DDS Foundation, a global community for DDS users, vendors, technology enthusiasts, and related consortia. As the commercial leader in DDS technology, RTI is proud to be a founding member and to hold two leadership positions:

Since its 2004 debut, the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard has been the go‑to connectivity framework for aerospace and defense, proving itself in large, mission‑critical environments. Today, its high‑performance, data‑centric design is positioning DDS as the premier technology for the Indu

It is with great pride that we announce the release of RTI Connext 6, the latest evolution of our industry‑leading real‑time communication suite. Over a two‑year journey of discovery, design, and rigorous testing, our team has delivered significant advances in functionality, interoperability, and p

Why Combine DDS, Telegraf, and InfluxDB? In industrial IoT, real‑time visibility into device telemetry is critical. RTI Connext DDS delivers low‑latency, scalable data distribution, while InfluxDB excels at storing and querying time‑series metrics. Telegraf, the lightweight metrics collector from I

RTI software powers countless mission‑critical systems. Our customers demand the highest reliability and quality, so we openly discuss our development practices, tooling, and the RTI IIoT lab when meeting with them. A frequent topic is the software testing we perform—an area we take great pride in.

Five years after the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) burst into corporate consciousness, much has been discussed and written about this powerful new era of connected, intelligent machines and devices. Since most of that information is scattered across the digital landscape, RTI has consolidat

The Internet of Things is evolving rapidly, and recent developments—such as OASISs effort to standardize IBMs MQTT protocol—highlight the importance of robust machine‑to‑machine communication. This article explores MQTT, the widely adopted broker‑based protocol, and DDS, the peer‑to‑peer standard

Part 1 of a Multi‑Part Series Protecting mission‑critical industrial IoT environments demands security that scales from the edge to the cloud, spanning multiple systems and suppliers. As a lead author of the OMG DDS Security standard, RTI has helped define the essential requirements for safeguardin

This is Part 2 in a six‑blog series on this topic. If you missed the Part 1 overview, please read it here. Why SGX Requires Re‑Architecture Intel® introduced Software Guard Extensions (SGX) with the promise of isolating sensitive code and data in a protected enclave. The original SDK guidance encou

This is Part 3 in a six‑blog series on this topic. If you’re new to this series, please read the previous blogs here. In Part 2, I demonstrated how to create a hardened endpoint using RTI Connext DDS Micro + Security, SCONE, and Intel SGX. While compelling, we have yet to explore a practical solut

The automotive landscape has evolved dramatically. Self‑driving cars are no longer speculative; they’re a growing reality. Yet the vision of sleek silver vehicles gliding through a city of tomorrow remains more fiction than fact. Today’s autonomous vehicle projects start with diverse technology sta

The OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard is an open standard, meaning it is publicly available and provides a normative reference that ensures consistency, portability and interoperability across implementations. Unlike open‑source software, which is distributed with its source code, an ope
