Summary:
Infrastructure provider Hyannis Port Research (HPR) has launched MEG (Matching Engine Gateway) – a full-hardware gateway designed to transform exchange technology by embedding ultra-low latency matching, routing and risk-control capabilities into a single appliance. The gateway supports more than 50 trading protocols, scales to 1,000 client sessions and features 40 physical 10/25 GbE ports, enabling exchanges to streamline order flow and decommission complex legacy systems.
By delivering sub-microsecond deterministic latency along with real-time aggregated risk checks on each trade, MEG allows trading venues to offer clients enhanced performance and compliance capabilities simultaneously. According to HPR’s CEO, the product marks “the inevitable evolution from legacy software to hardware-based matching engine technology.”
This launch signals a shift for exchange operators toward hardware-optimized infrastructures, where performance, risk-control and scalability are embedded from the ground up. MEG positions HPR at the forefront of the next generation of exchange infrastructure.
