Connext DDS Micro
First software framework designed for resource-constrained autonomous systems.
Overview
Connext® DDS Micro is a small-footprint software framework for autonomous systems and smart machines. This Connectivity Software for IoT Applications accelerates time to market and reduces sustainment costs by enabling the development of modular, loosely coupled applications that meet stringent Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements. It is standards-compliant and fully interoperable with other Connext® DDS products.
Connext DDS Micro from RTI simultaneously satisfies demanding real-time performance requirements while meeting stringent resource constraints. By abstracting out low-level networking and communication details, it reduces the cost of development for minimizing the amount of custom connectivity or integration code that developers would otherwise have to create.
Connext DDS Micro guarantees extensive compatibility with numerous hardware and operating systems. Its distributed system architecture, predictable resource allocation, and strict adherence to DDS and DDS Security standards further bolster its capabilities.
