Access via NYSE Euronext’s international network, installed and maintained by NYSE Euronext for customers in major financial centres around the world.

Note that to fully access LIFFE CONNECT® members require a 100Mb or a 1.5Mb connection in the US or a 100Mb or a 2Mb connection everywhere else. Customers who regularly subscribe to all Liffe markets and who wish to minimize any latency introduced by market data compression should access using the 100Mb uncompressed solution. The 100Mb solution is delivered via the secure financial transaction infrastructure® (SFTI®). The SFTI was designed and created in 2002 to be the industry’s most secure and resilient network for electronic trading. The 1.5Mb and 2Mb solutions will be upgraded to SFTI in Q4 2008.

Members may co-locate their trading servers within a Liffe datacentre to be closer to the LIFFE CONNECT® trading engines. A 100Mb control circuit will be installed from a Liffe POP to the customers’ sites.

Many members use their own international networks to facilitate access to LIFFE CONNECT®. These networks allow members to provide their clients with order routing access to LIFFE CONNECT® from anywhere in the world.

Access to LIFFE CONNECT® is established via a network infrastructure managed by an Application Service Provider (ASP).
