NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- 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,
today announced 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.

"Traditional turrets are limited by the closed nature of previous
telecommunications technologies," said Speakerbus Managing Director, Andy
Wodhams. "As the market breaks free from traditional, single vendor closed
systems it heralds in a new era in trading. By not adhering to the
traditional paradigm of single vendor options, truly best-of-breed solutions
can be achieved for the financial trading community."

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



Speakerbus conducted extensive research with strategic customers and
industry experts over several months to finalize a comprehensive management
strategy for the i turret and other members of the i series solutions
portfolio. The result is a centralized global management system (i cms) which
fundamentally equips administrators with powerful and cost-effective global
management capabilities. The i cms portal application utilizes a Microsoft
powered server and database presented via a browser-based user interface.
