IPC Launches Shared IP Access Solution for Data and Voice Communications


JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    Strategic upgrade delivers integrated voice and data services providing

             global trading firms with a scalable, resilient and 

                    cost-effective trading solution


    IPC Systems, the leading provider of indispensable trading communications

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

shared IP access strategy in conjunction with strategic upgrades to its

network and trading solutions. The strategic upgrades enable customers to

consolidate voice and data communications required for electronic trading

onto a single, managed and secure network infrastructure that can be directly

integrated with IPC's industry-leading trading systems platform. IPC's global

network, spanning over 3,600 On-Net sites, delivers IP -based Enhanced Voice

Services (EVS) and high-speed data via its Electronic Connectivity Service

(ECS) which serves as the foundation for the combined access strategy.


    Consolidation of voice and data services will reduce infrastructure

costs, increase resiliency and simplify business continuity planning (BCP).

The approach of leveraging a fully managed state-of-the-art converged IP

network provides inherent advantages such as carbon footprint reduction, as

well as operational and infrastructure efficiencies. Flexible thin-building

and virtualized architecture techniques that capitalize on SIP technology

streamline information delivery and allow for diverse connections to and from

multiple locations for automatic and seamless communications protection.


    "As a financial services firm operating in a global environment, our

business requires continuous and reliable worldwide communications, and

having the latest technology to support that is key," commented Shafqat Ali,

Gilder Gagnon Howe & Co. "Implementing IPC's EVS service has complemented our

BCP very well, and has proven to be an extremely effective approach, from

both a business facilitation and cost perspective."


    The EVS upgrade leverages private line delivery via IP using Session

Initiation Protocol (SIP) - a signaling protocol that has become the industry

standard for advanced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) session control and

multi-media capabilities. Using SIP, IPC's EVS service provides connections

directly to the client's IPC Alliance platform in IP format, enabling

customers to integrate data, voice and other future multi-media applications

through a single, high bandwidth, highly-reliable connection.


    "With the strategic upgrade of EVS and the Alliance platform, we are

bringing together the advanced automatic resiliency features of EVS directly

to our trading turret system," said Jonathan Morton, vice president, Global

Product Management, IPC Systems. "Owning the network and the trading platform

allows us to create a unique solution for our customers, providing them with

the opportunity to dramatically increase productivity and collaboration and

continue trading securely and efficiently using an end-to-end IP approach."
