Hello ROS 2 community,
We are excited to announce the upcoming release of Fast DDS Pro, the new commercial edition of Fast DDS.
Fast DDS Pro extends the capabilities of the community edition with advanced networking features designed for industrial and defense-grade deployments. These features can be used directly from ROS 2, or through Vulcanexus, our all-in-one ROS 2 toolset.
Key features at launch:
-
Low Bandwidth Plugins – Optimized DDS communication for constrained or unstable links (e.g., radio, satellite, IoT).
-
TSN Support – Deterministic communication with guaranteed latencies.
-
IP Mobility – Seamless connectivity across changing networks (vehicles, mobile robots).
-
Congestion Control (coming soon) – Adaptive traffic management under heavy network load.
Release planned for September 2025.

We believe this new edition will provide the ROS 2 community with tools to tackle more demanding networking challenges in production systems, while continuing to support the community with the open-source Fast DDS.
We’d love to hear your feedback and discuss use cases where these features could bring value to your projects.
