New UL BRIDGE V3 reaches speeds up to 45 microseconds

London, New York, Paris - April 28th, 2009 - ULLINK, global provider of

microseconds and average speeds of 113 microseconds per order. These tests were 
conducted by ULLINK to include full decoding, normalizing, routing and encoding 
of FIX messages.
  
"Our benchmarks are already excellent and we are further optimizing our 
processes to reach ULLINK's target performance of sub-100 microsecond average 
speeds before mid-2009." says Georges Gomes, CTO of ULLINK. "We can consider 
today's figures as proof that ultra-low latency can be achieved on multi-asset 
class and multi-message formats platforms like the UL BRIDGE." 

"The UL BRIDGE sets new standards in terms of latency, throughput and 
scalability." says Laurent Useldinger, CEO of ULLINK. "Our hosted DMA and best 
execution services along with pre-trade risk and trading solutions will 
immediately benefit from this breakthrough.  We are proud to continue 
pioneering advancements in our industry."
