We present on overview of the features of FAIR (FAst Inter-crate Readout), a novel {open_quotes}plug-n-play{close_quotes} trigger and readout oriented bus system. It provides for an effective low-cost homogeneous, highly extendible and scalable, front-end environment. Readout and event-building are performed, at the same time, without the need of CPUs, by means of a transparent hardware level protocol. The measured rate of data transfer and event-building can be as fast as 22ns/longword (1.44 Gbit/s). The measured performances will be discussed. The {open_quotes}plug-n-play{close_quotes} feature will be also presented in some detail along with the control system based on a network embedded in the bus.
