On November 2, 2016, Warren Kurisu, Director of Product Management at Mentor Graphics, and I will discuss how to embed reliability and security into Industrial IoT (IIoT) deployments. These qualities are essential, yet the sheer scale of IIoT networks often turns implementation into a daunting task

The Mirai DDoS attack that unfolded last Friday exposed a fundamental weakness in today’s IoT deployments. Though it targeted consumer devices, the same vulnerabilities resonate in industrial environments. The botnet leveraged tens of millions of IP addresses, exploiting manufacturer‑set default p

As 2016 winds down, keep your curiosity sharp. Below are the five standout webinars that gathered industry leaders and delivered actionable insights across IoT, cybersecurity, connected vehicles, robotics, and distributed systems. IoT Panel Webcast – Best Practices and Avoiding Pitfalls for IoT De

We understand your time is precious, so we’ve compiled the most‑visited resources from 2016 to help Connext DDS developers and engineers stay ahead of the curve. Three‑Part Series: The Industrial Internet – A Data‑Driven Approach This comprehensive whitepaper series addresses the challenges of b

Along I‑280 on the San Francisco Peninsula, a sign declares the highway the “World’s Most Beautiful Freeway.” The beauty comes alive when fog rolls over the hills, cooling the valley and creating the region’s famed mild climate. This natural phenomenon illustrates a powerful idea for the Industrial

After a year and a half since its first release, the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture (IIRA) now arrives in version 1.8. The update brings refinements, new features, and the most significant addition: a Layered Databus Architecture Pattern. RTI contributed this pattern to the Implementat

When analyzing sensor data, the typical workflow involves collecting raw data, converting it into a usable format, and then leveraging MATLAB’s powerful analytics capabilities. However, the data‑conversion step can be time‑consuming. With MathWorks’ recent integration, MATLAB can now directly subs

The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has released a pivotal component of its Reference Architecture: the Connectivity Framework document. This guide dives deep into IIoT connectivity, establishes rigorous criteria for assessing technologies, and highlights leading core standards such as DDS, O

Authors: Bob Leigh & Brett Murphy The New York Times recently highlighted the need for standards to spur innovation in autonomous vehicles. While the piece correctly identifies the value of standards, it conflates “standards” with “standardization,” implying that a single automotive platform co

At RTI, we believe the most powerful ideas are those that can be explained simply. That’s why we’re excited to share a clear, step‑by‑step introduction to Connext DDS – the industry’s leading real‑time data distribution service. Our guide covers everything you need to turn a fresh install into a fu

Industrial IoT (IIoT) deployments demand performance, scalability, resilience, autonomy, and lifecycle management that only a purpose‑built connectivity framework can deliver. Data Distribution Service (DDS) is the industry‑standard solution crafted specifically for mission‑critical IIoT systems. U

The London Connext Conference, held in 2014 and 2015, united DDS professionals from diverse sectors to exchange insights and showcase innovative applications. If you missed those events, you can explore presenter lists and select talks on our Community page. This year marks a significant shift: we’

Before joining RTI’s engineering team, I was a long‑time RTI customer and early adopter of DDS. I helped shape DDS 4.0 as it became the industry standard we use today. My passion lies in creating tools that simplify working with Connext DDS, a product already renowned for its robustness. This drive

My career started at a defense contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I helped design a distributed system that connected hundreds of sensors, controllers, and servers across Ethernet, fiber optics, and serial links. Ensuring that each control loop met its strict timing constraints require

Fog computing is emerging as a pivotal paradigm for deploying the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). According to the OpenFog Consortium, it is a “system‑level horizontal architecture that distributes computing, storage, control, and networking resources across the continuum from cloud to edge.”

Wired’s recent piece on Charlie Miller—famously the hacker who remotely commandeered a Jeep—argues that only open dialogue among companies can build secure autonomous cars. That view oversimplifies the competitive reality of a revitalized automotive sector, yet it misses a crucial point: security i

If you haven’t seen it yet, read RTI’s latest press release announcing our significant expansion in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The news underscores why now is a pivotal moment for RTI. While the financial metrics are impressive, what truly excites us are the real‑world applications w

Imagine gaining new insights or inspiration in just 30 minutes—something that could elevate your professional performance. That’s exactly what we’re offering.
