FIX Antenna™ .NET has been designed to provide native support of Microsoft .NET technologies enabling quick and easy integration into any custom .NET application.

The .NET engine delivers performance of over 35,000 messages per second on a single CPU.

The .NET benefits include the ability to manipulate messages with the use of class hierarchies, properties and namespaces, XML based documentation for all messages, and the ability to generate structured messages. FIX Antenna .NET provides an extremely easy way to integrate support of the FIX protocol into any .NET application. It is specifically designed to improve the productivity of .NET programmers even if they are novice FIX users.
