These systems generate a constant stream of events that must be ingested, processed, correlated, and acted on in real time. Image Condense provides a real-time data streaming and application platform for connected mobility. It combines enterprise-grade streaming with mobility-specific connectors, protocols, integrations, application building blocks, processing capabilities, deployment, observability, governance, and operations in a common platform. This allows organizations to build and operate mobility solutions for fleet operations, asset tracking, vehicle health, predictive maintenance, EV operations, rental and leasing, shared mobility, public transport, and custom real-time mobility applications. ## Why Real-Time Matters in Connected Mobility Connected mobility is built on continuous streams of vehicle, driver, asset, and operational events. Capturing those events is only the first part of the problem. The events must also move through processing, business logic, enterprise integrations, and application workflows before an operational action can take place. For example, consider a panic-button event: ```text theme={null} Vehicle | v Telematics Device | v Data Ingestion | v Event Processing | v Business Logic | v Enterprise Integration | v Application Orchestration | v Operational Action ``` When each stage is implemented using a separate technology or service, the event can accumulate latency and operational dependencies before the final action is triggered. Condense provides a common real-time event foundation across these stages. Data can be connected, processed, enriched, orchestrated, and delivered to applications within the same platform. # A Unified Platform for Connected Mobility Condense supports the connected mobility lifecycle through four closely integrated capabilities: ```text theme={null} Connect | v Process | v Build | v Deploy & Scale ``` ## Connect Ingest real-time data from: * Vehicles * Fleets * Telematics devices * Mobile applications * IoT devices * Enterprise systems * Mobility infrastructure * Charging infrastructure * Third-party mobility ecosystems * Existing event streams Condense combines general-purpose data connectivity with mobility-specific connectors, protocols, and integrations. ## Process Transform, enrich, and orchestrate streaming data to create events that can drive operational workflows and mobility applications.

Condense can support: * Vehicle rental workflows * Leasing operations * Subscription services * Shared mobility * Asset utilization * Vehicle availability * Operational automation * Customer-facing mobility applications # Mobility Ecosystem Connected mobility depends on more than a streaming engine. Organizations also need domain-specific connectivity and capabilities for vehicles, telematics devices, IoT sensors, infrastructure, applications, and enterprise systems. Condense extends its streaming foundation with a mobility ecosystem. ```text theme={null} Condense | +-----------+-----------+ | | v v Core Streaming Mobility Foundation Ecosystem | | Kafka Connectors Runtime Protocols Processing Integrations Operations Building Blocks Applications ``` The core platform provides the common event foundation, while the mobility ecosystem provides specialized capabilities required for individual mobility workloads. ## Mobility-Ready Connectivity The ecosystem can connect: * Vehicles * Telematics devices * IoT sensors * Mobile applications * Charging infrastructure * Enterprise applications * Third-party mobility platforms This reduces the need to create and maintain every mobility integration independently. ## Pre-Built Mobility Building Blocks Condense provides or can incorporate domain-specific building blocks for: * Fleet operations * Asset tracking * Geofencing * Predictive maintenance * Driver analytics * EV operations * Compliance workflows * Mobility integrations These building blocks can be combined with custom processing and applications. # Application Development Mobility applications frequently combine real-time events with domain-specific business logic. Condense provides an integrated development environment for building custom processing and application workloads on top of the streaming platform. Applications can use: * Custom transforms * Event-driven microservices * Pre-built transformations * Mobility-specific building blocks * APIs * Enterprise integrations The Developer Agent can assist developers in generating application logic and event-driven microservices. This allows teams to move from a real-time event to a deployable mobility application without creating a separate application infrastructure stack. # Development and Runtime A connected mobility application requires more than source-code development. It also needs a runtime capable of deploying, scaling, observing, and managing the application after it is built. Condense integrates development and runtime capabilities so that mobility applications can move through their lifecycle within the same platform: ```text theme={null} Develop | v Test | v Deploy | v Scale | v Observe | v Operate ``` This reduces the separation between streaming infrastructure and the applications that consume and act on the stream. # Scale and Operations Mobility workloads can change significantly as fleets grow, vehicle populations increase, new data sources are introduced, or applications experience demand spikes.
