North American PoP Demand Hightened - TMX Atrium Completes Infrastructure Upgrade On Home Soil
- Whilst only just beginning the investment in PoP infrastructure in Europe, TMX Atrium has today announced its completion of an upgrade of existing PoP systems in North America, aimed at further access to liquidity on the home market.

North American infrastructure improvements are very much on TMX Atrium's agenda amid technology firms' competition alongside each other in the world's most technologically advanced region in terms of infrastructure.
Despite the ongoing American expansion by a number of technology and network providers of network performance into Europe, this particular Canadian firm today announced that it is aware not to drop the baton on home soil in North America, and has completed an upgrade to its North American infrastructure.
In this case, whereas the firm is just beginning to concentrate on its proposed investment in implementing Points of Presence (PoPs) in Europe, this infrastructure already exists and is in operation in North America, and required an upgrade to meet increasing demand for such systems by institutional firms.
PoPs in financial infrastructure are access points to internet-based networks. In general terms, a PoP is a physical location that houses servers, routers, network switches and digital/analog call aggregators. Such technology made its foray into the world of electronic trading about 7 years ago in North America.
The upgrade of the existing PoP network has been implemented across Chicago, New Jersey, New York and Toronto. This network ensures TMX Atrium delivers superior access to the major Liquidity Liquidity The term liquidity refers to the process, speed, and ease of which a given asset or security can be converted into cash.
