First DDS provider to meet all major automotive software standards
Real Time Innovations (RTI) has achieved all the major automotive software safety standards for its DDS publish-subscribe interconnect software.
RTI Connext Drive has met all automotive industry quality standards by achieving ASPICE CL1, ISO 21434, and ISO 26262 process certifications. The Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard for pusblish-subscribe architectures is a key technology for architecting and building Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).
RTI has also recently become the first DDS vendor to be named as a CVE Numbering Authority (CVE) which assigns CVE identifiers to vulnerabilities and publishes CVE Records. This designation showcases RTI’s dedication to system integrity by identifying vulnerabilities early.
“Software standards aren’t just features– they’re foundational to developing vehicles more efficiently while adhering to critical safety and cybersecurity requirements. Connext Drive is engineered with secure by design methods to meet the growing demand for zero-trust architectures of today’s automotive industry,” said Niheer Patel, Director of Product Management at RTI. “As regulations tighten, it’s critical for our customers to have confidence in their software supply chain. By addressing the rigorous quality benchmarks required by OEMs and Tier-1s, we’re mitigating risks that come with building SDVs while also accelerating integration for our customers. RTI will continue to adopt best cybersecurity practices to improve systems across industries such as defense, medical, and automotive.”
The DDS implementation spans multiple industries. Certified as fit for use in IEC 62304 Class 3 systems, Connext accelerates the certification and reduces the risk associated with building the most patient-critical medical devices. In the railway sector, RTI is compliant with CENELEC EN 50128/50716, ensuring the reliability and safety of vital railway control systems. In industrial automation, RTI’s IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification ensures compliance with stringent safety standards. These certifications highlight RTI’s capability to meet the most demanding standards for the most demanding applications, empowering our customers with trusted, high integrity industry-leading solutions.
