The RTI or “Run Time Infrastructure” provides a set of software services required to run the distributed simulations commonly used for Defence planning, analysis, training and war-gaming. RTIs are available from several international vendors and there are other competing distributed simulation infrastructures. The variety of distributed simulation infrastructures, standards and vendor implementations, creates costly simulation integration problems for Defence organisations worldwide. Simulations need to be integrated to enable joint (Army, Navy, Air force) and Coalition level interaction. Calytrix SIMplicity™ enables Defence developers to create simulations that can be migrated between simulation architectures, standards and vendor implementations with little or no additional effort, substantially reducing integration effort, risks and costs.

The MÄK RTI has been used in a wide variety of programs and large exercises, including US Air Force distributed mission operations and US Army and NATO exercises. The MÄK RTI is notable for its support for a wide variety of network topologies and architectures and its ease of configuration.

Warren Katz, CEO of MÄK Technologies commented, "We're extremely pleased that Calytrix selected the MAK RTI from the field of competing products upon which to focus their Calytrix SIMplicity™ integration efforts. Seamless interoperability between Calytrix SIMplicity™ and the large installed base of MÄK RTI users will no doubt fuel growth for Calytrix”. Mark Rheinlander, CEO of Calytrix Technologies commented, "MÄK’s RTI is a very popular product with our Defence customers, so supporting it will open up further opportunities for Calytrix. We are delighted to be working with MÄK Technologies and both companies are looking forward to continued collaboration.”
