The Software Framework for Autonomy
Architects and developers choose Connext Professional to build open and scalable real-world systems. Its data-centric connectivity framework distributes and manages real-time data, allowing applications and devices to work together as one, integrated system. Its decentralized architecture and peer-to-peer communication enable high-reliability and a real-time Quality of Service (QoS) while eliminating bottlenecks and any single point of failure. A rich set of tools simplifies development and accelerates integration testing and debugging, from design to deployment. With over 70% of the DDS market share, Connext Professional delivers the most proven foundation for mission-critical systems.
Connecting Distributed Systems
Connext Professional is a robust framework for developing and integrating safety- and mission-critical systems. Its data-centric approach eases system integration by allowing applications to interact directly with data objects and enables the creation of scalable systems that span diverse public and private networks.
Enterprise Integration Patterns
