euNetworks to Provide Ultra Low Latency Connectivity to Turquoise

euNetworks Group Limited, (SGX: H23.SI), one of Europe’s foremost providers of high-performance on-demand networking services, today announced its connectivity to Turquoise, the independent pan-European equity trading platform. Connectivity is provided under the euTrade brand.

London, United Kingdom, June 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- euNetworks delivers on-demand connectivity between major stock exchanges, alternative trading systems / venues and clearing houses in 15 of Europe’s leading cities. Its high performance, all-optical fibre network is built to deliver ultra-low latency and guaranteed high availability – ideally suited to MTFs’ (multilateral trading facilities) mission critical trading applications. The euNetworks euTrade product is Ethernet based and fully transparent, eliminating issues with protocols or large frames being blocked, and its modern fibre avoids long, slow routes with service disruption.

euTrade offers a particularly stringent ultra-low latency guarantee between Turquoise and 15 major cities throughout Europe. The guarantee forms part of the customer contract and service credits are payable should it not be constantly met.

Yann L’Huillier, Chief Information Officer for Turquoise said: “Our members expect the highest standards of efficiency, flexibility and resilience from the Turquoise MTF. Low latency levels and high availability over a trusted network are a crucial part of our offering, and euNetworks helps us to achieve this and to offer a market-leading platform for European trading.”

“At euNetworks we are committed to deliver our customers access to unrivalled metro reach. Adding Turquoise to our list of MTF trading venues brings us one step closer to this goal”, commented Barry Nolan, Chief Operating Office of euNetworks. He continues to say: “Owning one of Europe’s highest capacity fibre networks combined with multiple terabits of pre-provisioned capacity in our network ensures that as our customers’ businesses change, we can change with them – on demand, in as little as one day.”
