CHICAGO and FRANKFURT, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- One of First Technology Providers to Offer New Optional Access for High
Frequency Traders along with New Xetra Platform 10.0

RTS Realtime Systems Group, a global trading solutions provider,
announced today that it is one of the first major technology providers to
globally roll out Deutsche Boerse's new low latency, high-speed access
interfaces, the Enhanced Transaction Solution and Enhanced Broadcast
Solution, along with the new Xetra(R) Release 10.0.

Deutsche Boerse offers traders two new dedicated high-speed interfaces
that can be seamlessly deployed via RTS' trading solutions. The Enhanced
Transaction Solution is an asynchronous message-based interface (TCP
connection) that further pushes the boundaries of low latency trading.

The Enhanced Broadcast Solution (multicast connection) serves to transmit
un-netted market data with significant order book depth as quickly as
possible. The high-performance transmission mechanism reduces latency and
provides faster access to market data.

Traders will rely on RTS to integrate Enhanced Broadcast
Solution/Enhanced Transaction Solution into their existing trading
infrastructure as these new connectivity options are not available via the
exchange's front-end. The new connectivity offering can lead to a reduction
by at least 50 percent in transmission times for order data sent to Xetra and
back to trading participants.

RTS' proximity hosting solutions include Xetra and Eurex, allowing
performance-driven traders to further profit from the combined offering,
while keeping the cost under control. Said Christian Zahm, RTS Sales
Director: "RTS is proud to be among the first trading solutions providers to
offer this important global roll-out along with our proximity offering. With
this enhanced connectivity offering, we are further strengthening our
position as a leading technology provider for Xetra and for algorithmic
trading solutions globally."

"With the newly introduced high-speed interfaces, we will enable our
members to tap into new performance dimensions," said Jens Hachmeister,
Director, Head of Xetra Operations/Infrastructure Development at Deutsche
Boerse AG. "Participants will considerably benefit from our technological
expertise and the existing superior infrastructure for low latency trading."

RTS and Deutsche Boerse are co-hosting a Webinar on July 7 to inform
customers about upcoming Eurex and Xetra releases and functionality as well
as detail the necessary steps to take to participate. For more information,
