Welcome to RTI Connext Micro

RTI® Connext® DDS Micro provides a small-footprint, modular messaging solution for resource-limited devices that have limited memory and CPU power, and may not even be running an operating system. It provides the communications services that developers need to distribute time-critical data. Additionally, Connext Micro is designed as a certifiable component in high-assurance systems.

Key benefits of Connext Micro include:

• Accommodations for resource-constrained environments.

• Modular and user extensible architecture.

• Designed to be a certifiable component for safety-critical systems.

• Seamless interoperability with RTI Connext Professional.
