Today is one of the most significant days in RTI's

history. Today, we are unveiling a new product line, a new

corporate strategy, and our vision of a new industry

direction.

Our new products target the

challenging problem of building connected systems that will work

together as never before. The RTI Connext product line spans the

gap from deeply-embedded devices, through high-performance

real-time systems, all the way to enterprise IT integration. It

really is the first edge-to-enterprise "real-time SOA" platform.

We've been working on the base technology for decades; it's truly

exciting to bring the vision together-and the

capability to market-for the first time.

Our new strategy is to leverage our "operational"

technology into a unified system-wide infrastructure. Our

software is the key nervous system for over 500 major

mission-critical projects in several industries including

defense, industrial automation, automotive, and healthcare. Our

new products expand upon this footprint, both down into smaller

devices, and up into system-of-systems integration. We can now

assemble large networks of mixed devices and applications into

working systems, and hook those (and other) systems together into

a connected whole.

Critically, we can also now

connect operational systems to the enterprise IT infrastructure.

Why is that valuable? Because it enables a new way to run and

control systems. This is an important trend across many

industries. As networks become more powerful, and as technologies

like ours make interconnection more possible, the worlds of IT

and OT (operational technology) can, for the first time,

interact. RTI Connext builds operational systems, but with our

new Integrator product, it can also connect those systems with

enterprise technologies in real time. Since business intelligence

and resource management are so well developed for the enterprise,

this makes it possible to feed back smart directions to the

operational system. And that makes everything more

efficient.

Thus, we let you use, control, and

optimize all your systems as a holistic entity. Our new tag line

sums it up nicely: Your Systems. Working as One.

This is a big, complex vision. Implementing it fully

will take years. But today's launch represents a culmination of

what we've learned addressing the needs of mission-critical

applications for so many years. Our base technology has the

performance, 24×7 reliability, and scale to succeed as

the core transport for demanding real-time systems. We are now

adding IT-like technologies: central console administration,

multiple messaging patterns, and a true service bus. The result

is a unique approach that enables a new level of system function.

We're excited both by the current breakthrough and its

implications for the future.

It's great to

kick off 2012 with such big news! Today's announcement is the

first step towards our goal of making all your systems work

together as one. I'd like to offer my congratulations to the RTI

family, as well as the customers and partners who made this day

possible.
