FastTrade MBP, a multi-asset OMS and EMS front-office platform developed by ION-owned LIST, won “best smart order routing (SOR) application”

LONDON, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ION, a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting to financial institutions, central banks, governments, and corporates, announces that FastTrade MBP – developed by ION-owned LIST – won ‘Best smart order routing (SOR) application’ at the TradingTech Insight (TTI) Awards Europe 2024.

“FastTrade helps our clients stand out against the competition. We are thrilled that FastTrade MBP won ‘Best SOR application’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2024,” says Mirko Marcadella, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LIST

The annual TTI Europe Awards recognize excellence in trading solutions, services, and consultancy for capital markets, focusing on vendors that provide exceptional trading infrastructure, trading technology, and data solutions. To determine the category winners, the TTI Europe Awards program combines the results of online voting with input from the TTI Advisory Board. This year’s TTI Europe Awards ceremony coincided with the TradingTech Summit 2024 in Canary Wharf, London.

FastTrade MBP is LIST’s multi-asset order management system (OMS) and execution management system (EMS) front office platform. Its embedded SOR engine, liquidity aggregation capabilities, and programmable algo trading framework deliver best execution across multiple trading venues and different asset classes.

Order execution can be fully automatic (low touch), manual (high touch), or a combination of the two (both ways: high touch child orders may be released to an automated algorithm; an unexecuted low touch order can end up in the blotter for manual intervention). Key features of FastTrade MBP’s configurable SOR and best execution workflow include liquidity aggregation and price discovery; pre-trade transaction cost analysis (TCA); optimized, multi-venue execution; and reporting.

“We are thrilled that FastTrade MBP won ‘Best SOR application’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2024,” says Mirko Marcadella, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LIST. “As trading and execution become increasingly competitive, vendors seek to differentiate themselves. FastTrade helps our clients stand out against the competition. The platform complies fully with existing regulations on automated trading – notably MiFID II requirements on best execution, transparency, and algorithmic trading. And it offers an out-of-the-box, comprehensive, fully customizable solution for multi-asset best execution.”

Evidencing ION’s track record for award-winning products, ION Fidessa won ‘Best Sell-Side OMS’, and FastTrade won ‘Best SOR System’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2023. And FastTrade won ‘Best SOR System’ at the TTI Europe Awards 2022, while ION MarketFactory won ‘Best Low Latency Data Feed Provider – Managed’ at the same forum.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

About Haloid Solutions

Haloid Solutions is the go-to resource for U.S. businesses and municipalities in search of financing and leasing for two-way radios, walkie talkies, communications equipment, accessories, and services. Focused on reliability, affordability, and performance, Haloid strives to equip professionals in all communication-based industries with the resources they need most.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.

About Vipboss

Vipboss is a specialist in the lithium battery industry, focusing on the research, production, and manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. The company is committed to advancing battery technology with an emphasis on reliable performance, safety, and extended service life.
