RTI provides the connectivity platform for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). RTI's solutions connect across field, fog and cloud. Its reliability, security, perfomance and scalability are proven in the most demanding industrial systems. Deployed systems include medical devices and imaging; wind, hydro and solar power; autonomous planes, trains and cars; traffic control; Oil and Gas; robotics, ships and defense. RTI is the largest vendor of products based on the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service™ (DDS) connectivity framework.

Exosite is a technology company focused on connecting devices and systems. They have been developing embedded technologies for over 20 years - and have first-hand experience dealing with the lack of connectivity between devices, networks and users. Year founded: 2009

Wind River Systems provides software operating systems and development tools for embedded systems. A microprocessor and software comprise embedded systems, which are used in more than 1 billion products that include auto braking systems, Internet traffic routers, jet fighter control panels, mobile phones, set-top boxes, traffic signals, and other consumer electronics.

RTI is committed to open standards, open community source and open architecture. RTI provides the leading implementation of the Object Management Group Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. For high-performance integrated systems, DDS is the ideal communications protocol. DDS is the technology that delivers the flexibility, reliability and speed necessary to build complex real-time applications. RTI Connext DDS has already delivered proven infrastructures for mission-critical military systems, advanced medical systems, wind turbine farms, air traffic control, robotics and factory automation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network of physical devices communicating with each other, usually through powerful cloud applications that add data processing, aggregation, and analysis to provide business insights and benefits that would not otherwise be feasible. A classic example of IoT products is that light bulbs can be controlled remotely through a connection to the internet. This could be accomplished directly by a user on a remote device to turn on a light before getting home. It could also be accomplished automatically by intelligence in the cloud that uses data from other sensors around the house and other internet services to predict what the user will want. Exosite partners with companies to help their enterprise optimize the right IoT strategy, unearthing opportunities along the way.

Building safe and secure systems is the hallmark of Wind River. For the past 30 years they have been ensuring that safety-critical systems, for everything from industrial plants and electrical substations to jet airliners and commuter trains, absolutely work without fail. They are now harnessing our decades of field experience to deploy advanced technologies such as software agents and microkernels to more fully integrate our ultra-reliable operating systems into the Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things is officially here. And with it are not only new challenges, but also untapped value and immense opportunity estimated at $19 trillion. Realize IoT’s huge potential with Wind River Helix, a comprehensive portfolio of software solutions for harnessing intelligence to drive innovation and business transformation. With their offering, developers and device manufacturers can not only create the safe, secure, and reliable intelligent systems that make up IoT, but also move the data generated by these systems–from the secure and managed devices at the edge, through the gateway, across the critical network infrastructure, and up into the cloud. Wind River Helix is everything a business needs to both survive and thrive in this exciting new era of data.
