- Newest Addition to i Series Suite of Products Reinforces its 25-Year- Old Reputation of Providing Cost-Effective Trader Voice Technology

Speakerbus, a global leader in trader voice solutions for the equity, capital markets and wealth management segments of the financial industry, is announcing i turret, a new trading turret that can reduce the cost of trader voice services by up to 50 percent.

Speakerbus' i turret is the newest solution in its i series suite of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) products that increase the resilience, flexibility and power of trading room voice solutions (ARD, MRD and Hoot n' Holler) by offering a "Plug and Trade" approach to trader voice technology. Speakerbus' i turret provides traders a competitive advantage without the extensive back room and support costs associated with digital and quasi-IP hybrid turret systems.

The i turret uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) technology working with SIP-enabled IP-PBX infrastructures to deliver a significantly improved return on investment when compared to traditional trading platforms. Connecting the trading turret directly to the PBX in converged network environments offers more responsive, cost-efficient solutions reducing operational costs and enhancing employee productivity.

Speakerbus' i series reduces the back room footprint to save costs, decrease complexity and minimize support skills which are important issues for regional offices, hedge funds and operations in emerging markets.

Key benefits of Speakerbus' i turret include:

- SIP-based Architecture Integrating with industry Standard SIP Enabled PBX's - Reduced Backroom - Multi-party Line Sharing - Up to Eight Speaker Channels per Module - Full-duplex Conferencing - Adaptive Pagination
