Compared with HTML, ULC needs a smaller bandwidth for interactively dynamic applications.
ULC applications can be deployed as standalone Java applications, as servlets (in a Web container) or as EJBs (in an EJB container).

ULC reduces costs and streamlines the development and deployment of Client/Server applications.
