EMQ, the company behind the EMQX platform for real-time data, device connectivity, and system coordination across IoT and AI environments, announced the release of EMQX Enterprise 6.2. Built on MQTT, the platform adds foundational capabilities for agent discovery, coordination, and governance across distributed systems.
With this release, EMQX extends beyond real-time data movement to support event-driven coordination between autonomous agents and connected devices, positioning the platform as a core infrastructure layer for both domains.
EMQX 6.0 established a unified, multi-tenant messaging foundation. EMQX 6.1 extended this with durable streaming and analytics-ready data pipelines. With EMQX 6.2, the platform takes a further step forward, adding new capabilities for agent coordination, governance, and operational control.
“EMQX 6.2 extends MQTT beyond data movement into native agent-to-agent discovery and coordination. By building A2A discovery directly into the broker, we are giving customers a simpler and more practical way to connect agents, devices, and real-time systems on the same infrastructure.” — Benniu Ji, VP of Product at EMQ Technologies

Enabling Real-Time Discovery and Coordination for Agents
At the center of this release is the introduction of the A2A Registry, a standards-aligned agent discovery system built directly into the MQTT broker.
Unlike traditional service discovery systems that rely on polling centralized directories, EMQX enables event-driven discovery using retained messages, allowing agents to immediately receive the full set of available peers upon subscription, along with updates as agents join, update, or disconnect.
The registry also provides built-in presence awareness. EMQX automatically annotates discovery messages with live online or offline status based on MQTT session state, allowing consumers to combine discovery and liveness in a single subscription stream.
