BT, IPC Launch Turret Software

By Robert Sales

IPC Information Systems and British Telecommunications–the two largest worldwide suppliers of programmable trading telephones–once again tried to outdo each other at the show. IPC’s big announcement centered on the launch of Alliance MX, a family of high capacity switches for programmable trading telephones. BT, meanwhile, launched a host of new products–including ITS Profile, the PV405I turret, the Type 51 switch and the Integrated Trading System Open Line Speaker Range.

IPC, the largest provider of turrets, touted Alliance MX as the next generation of switching platforms for the trading environment. Alliance MX, features, among other things, four times the bandwidth of Tradenet MXR–IPC’s flagship digital turret–and advanced computer telephony integration (CTI) functionality.

BT, on the other hand, seemed most proud of ITS Profile–a management and control software application that will enable an IT manager to adjust the profile of any turret on any trading floor worldwide from a Windows NT workstation. A BT rep says that via ITS profile, an IT manager in New York could, conceivably, adjust a trader’s turret in Singapore. Besides ITS Profile, BT also showed off the integrated speaker system.
