Transformation
As machines and devices are connected to create intelligent systems, innovative solutions are emerging that are transforming our world in every market. Data-centric connectivity is critical to the success of these high performance, intelligent systems and Connext, based on the DDS standard, is ushering in the Age of Autonomy in these important markets.

Communications Systems Applications
Space exploration and communication requires datalinks across millions of miles of space. Whether it be from Earth to Mars or from the International Space Station to Earth, long-distance object control relies upon space links that are low-bandwidth, high-delay and lossy. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) rely upon Connext for remote operations, many miles from the control center.

Large Telescope Systems
A new generation of very large telescopes are ushering in important scientific discoveries through clear views into outer space. These massive instruments require adaptive optics technology to correct for the effects of the Earth’s atmosphere on observations. Distortions must be detected and corrected rapidly, with mirror adjustments of upwards of thousands of times per second. One of the world’s foremost research institutions uses RTI Connext DDS in the lab and in real-world deployments to handle this real-time information flow, reliably and at scale.

Robotics and Haptic Systems
RTI software delivers the connectivity framework for safe, secure, reliable operations of complex, cooperative and autonomous robotics systems.

Smart Machine Applications
Smart machine capabilities are increasing the autonomy and operational efficiency of traditional manufacturing, mining, SCADA, and Oil and Gas systems. These smart machines target outdated industrial systems. Connext benefits include easier integration of large systems, more secure and distributed SCADA, and better optimization with cloud-based analysis and real-time feedback to the operational system.

Training and Simulation
Training for today’s military threats requires simulated environments that can be assembled and reconfigured in an agile, ad-hoc manner from ready-made components. RTI Connext® is the platform that brings distributed simulations together in a secure, high-performance, scalable environment. Based on the OMG® Data Distribution Service™ (DDS) standard, it has the necessary security and interoperability requirements for cross-vendor, cross-branch and cross-ally simulation of the evolving battlefield.

Underwater Drones
RTI Connext helps solve complex connectivity challenges with underwater drones in one of the world’s harshest and most unpredictable environments.
Success Stories
