RTI Connext: Unifying Edge and Cloud with a Common Platform

Physical AI is powered by data. Your competitive advantage comes not just from collecting it – but by being able to act on it in real-time and across environments. RTI Connext delivers a unified data layer from embedded edge systems to cloud-native applications – on one common platform. With Connext, you can:

  • Deploy AI where it’s most effective (cloud, edge or hybrid)
  • Operate physical systems from anywhere
  • Unlock true real-time observability and control
  • Accelerate innovation while reducing complex integration

Data is Your Primary Advantage

Modern autonomy relies on edge data, such as machine state, sensor feeds and real-time events. RTI helps you ingest, manage and act on that data instantly, without fragile workarounds.

Applications come and go but data remains your permanent and durable advantage. The speed at which data can be leveraged into insight is what makes a company competitive. Modern autonomy relies on edge data – such as machine state, sensor feeds and real-time events. RTI helps you ingest, manage and act on that data instantly, without fragile workarounds.

Avoid Data Silos from Edge to Cloud

Siloed systems and siloed data represent the #1 barrier to continued innovation. What is needed is a unified data model and architecture built for autonomy at the edge and up to the cloud. Connext removes friction between edge and cloud systems with a data-centric, protocol-agnostic platform that can:

  • Break protocol silos (CAN, MQTT, OPC UA, DDS, gRPC)
  • Enable fine-grained QoS + real-time data transport
  • Connect embedded nodes, fog nodes and cloud services
  • Establish a unified data model, so that systems understand the data, rather than just relay it

Built-In Security for Distributed Autonomy

From the factory floor to the cloud dashboard, data transport is secure, in compliance with standards, and happening in real-time. Connext achieves this capability through:

  • Data-level encryption and access control
  • Fine-grained permissions for distributed systems
  • End-to-end protection across hybrid deployments

Ready to See It in Action?

Whether you are building an autonomous vehicle platform, deploying smart infrastructure or running real-time industrial control systems, we will tailor the walkthrough to your use case. It’s time to explore the advantages of unifying edge and cloud with a common platform. 

Let us show you how RTI Connext can unify your architecture, accelerate AI workflows and give you improved control of your data – wherever it resides.
