IPC Systems Upgrades U.S. Network to Meet Growing Voice and Electronic Trading

Requirements


JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


         


        Completion of the first stage of significant enhancements to

company's U.S. network minimizes latency, ensures predictability and expands 

           geographic coverage for financial services trading firms


    IPC Systems, the leading provider of indispensable trading communications

solutions to the world's leading financial services firms, today announced

the completion of the first phase of its North American network expansion.

IPC's east ring deployment directly connects six IPC point-of-presence (POP)

facilities in key electronic trading locations across New York, Chicago and

Houston via a high-speed fully, restorable optical network. The upgraded

network infrastructure leverages the latest wave technology to enable the

secure delivery of private line voice and electronic connectivity services

over a high-speed, high-bandwidth service platform to support the growing

demand for low-latency trading connectivity and supporting services.


    This continued investment in state-of-the-art backbone infrastructure and

technology will ensure that IPC's expanding global trading community

maintains direct access to the most efficient connection highway to reach

their clients and execution venues across the region. Built in conjunction

with tier-one carrier partners, the new platform provides customers with

resilient service delivery and self-healing re-routing capabilities. It

delivers customer voice and electronic trading data over a secure converged

IP-based network ensuring the lowest possible latency and highest

performance.


    "IPC has dedicated significant resources to plan and thoroughly test, not

just the technology, but the implementation method, tracing out various

routing options for optimal performance," said Jeff Britell, director,

Network Planning, IPC Systems. "Our customers demand a best of breed approach

and IPC proactively chose service providers to support the lowest latency and

space diverse routes to exceed these expectations, which was no small task."


    With the completion of this strategic initiative, IPC has successfully

completed the first phase of its major network expansion program,

significantly expanding its network capacity and delivering a first-class

multi-service platform that meets the most stringent performance needs, while

improving latency and resiliency.


    "This is just the beginning, and again confirms IPC as the logical choice

for financial firms looking to connect to a global network that is latency

efficient, and offers the greatest range of connectivity options in key

markets. IPC already links directly with over 2,400 trading floors and

exchanges worldwide and connects more than 3,600 trading participants through

its secure private global network. Our next program of activity has already

started with further expansion in capacity and increasingly lower latency to

meet the escalating demand for our new service offerings from the financial

community," added Lou Marchese, vice president, Network Services Americas,

major trading locations.
