U.K.-based ZettaScale Technology has developed Zenoh protocol for wireless data communications, as the standard DDS middleware is not suited for wireless environments and puts limits on communications and scalability.
Zenoh manages data in motion and at rest, distributes storage for efficient fleet management and removes topological constraints on where to deploy computation, enabling operation over arbitrary meshes at internet scale.
Zenoh is useful in the automotive and robotics sectors, according to Angelo Corsaro, chief technology officer and CEO of ZettaScale. Zenoh has been adopted in General Motors’ uProtocol initiative and there are cars in Asia running on ROS 2.
Early adopters of Zenoh include major automakers such as Volvo and smart-city companies.
The new release of Eclipse Zenoh 1.0.0 builds on years of work and adds support for shared memory, end-to-end protection, high-performance access control and extensions for robotics and automotive protocols.
ZettaScale is working with partners across Japan, Europe and the US.
