The legacy floor
Turrets were built
for a different era.
Dedicated private wires and dealer boards tie six-figure budgets to physical hardware, weeks of telco provisioning, and a trading floor everyone has to sit at.
whoot. extends and modernises private wires, turrets, and legacy PBX with a cloud-native, encryption-first voice platform purpose-built for trading floors.
Legacy turret audit · per seat
£50K–£200K per seat / year
Dedicated physical lines per counterparty — capital locked in hardware.
6–12 week provisioning
Every new circuit means telco lead time before a single word is spoken.
Tied to the floor
Little to no remote or hybrid support — traders must sit at the turret.
Siloed recording
A separate capture system to meet MiFID II — another stack to run and reconcile.
Single point of failure
One circuit down and the desk goes silent.
Aging hardware
Vendor support winding down; spares and expertise getting scarce.
The platform
Everything the
trading floor demands.
Purpose-built for traders — always-on voice, dedicated infrastructure, and compliance recording in one platform.
MiFID II & Dodd-Frank
Every voice communication recorded, retained, and retrievable. Regulatory compliance out of the box.
End-to-end encryption
AES-256 in transit and at rest. DTLS-SRTP for all media. Zero-trust architecture.
Full recording
Tamper-proof with speaker ID, timestamps, and 7+ year retention. Keyword search in seconds.
<20ms server-side*
Sub-20ms server-side packet forwarding at our SFU — the engineering moat behind <150ms end-to-end mouth-to-ear latency. Faster than legacy turrets.
Dedicated infrastructure
Your own isolated media servers — not shared multi-tenant. Guaranteed capacity in your preferred region.
90-second setup
No telco provisioning. No hardware. Sign up, create rooms, talk.
PSTN dial-out
Dial any phone number worldwide from a voice room. Counterparties join by phone — no app needed.
Global network
London, Paris, Frankfurt, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney. Intelligent routing for the fastest path.
Unlimited rooms
Sales desk, rates, FX spot, EM — unlimited always-on rooms. No per-seat turret costs.
Latency methodology. Marketing figures reference end-to-end (mouth-to-ear) latency under typical intra-region network conditions, measured against the ITU-T G.114 recommendation of <150msone-way for “user satisfaction not noticeably affected.” Server-side processing — first RTP packet ingress to first RTP packet egress at whoot.’s SFU — is <20ms. End-to-end latency depends on client device, codec packetization (Opus ptime=20ms), jitter-buffer depth, and last-mile network conditions; typical intra-region mouth-to-ear is 90–120ms.
When milliseconds move markets
Turrets belong to the last decade.
whoot. replaces private wires, dealer boards, and separate recording stacks with a single always-on, fully recorded, instantly accountable voice platform — live in 90 seconds, not 12 weeks.
Regulatory compliance
Compliance isn't a
feature request.
MiFID II requires investment firms to record all voice communications related to transactions. Dodd-Frank mandates recording and retention of swap-dealer communications. whoot. was built from the ground up to meet these obligations — not retrofitted.
Security
Encryption that
never compromises.
Every byte of voice data is encrypted — no exceptions, no optional toggles.
Encrypted in transit
DTLS-SRTP for all media streams. TLS 1.3 for signalling. Perfect forward secrecy keeps past sessions secure.
Encrypted at rest
AES-256 for all stored recordings and transcripts. Customer-managed keys and data residency for regulated jurisdictions.
Access control
SAML SSO, enforced MFA, 50+ RBAC permissions. IP allowlisting and separation of duties.
Audit & monitoring
Immutable audit logs. Real-time anomaly detection. SIEM integration for your SOC.
Infrastructure
Your own dedicated
trading infrastructure.
No shared resources. Isolated media servers with guaranteed capacity — just like the circuits you're replacing, without the hardware.
Dedicated media servers
all greenThe difference
Legacy turrets
vs whoot.
Dealer boards and private wires were never designed for cloud-native, remote-ready, sub-150ms trading voice.
