IPC Systems has announced a multi-million dollar investment to expand its US network infrastructure, adding new routes and upgrading key points of presence amid rising demand for continuous market access and low-latency connectivity.

The move comes alongside continued infrastructure expansion across the sector, including Beeks Financial Cloud’s earlier report that it had signed its fifth exchange client, extending its role in cloud-based market access and cross-border exchange connectivity.

Similar developments across providers have highlighted sustained demand for distributed, low-latency trading infrastructure linking exchanges, brokers and data centres.

IPC Adds Routes, Upgrades Core PoPs

The project includes more than 15 new high-capacity routes and upgrades to six existing PoPs in Dallas, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose. These locations are set to be developed into core network hubs. IPC is also establishing a new PoP in Seattle, aimed at improving connectivity to West Coast cloud regions, including AWS US-West.

According to IPC, the rollout will take place in phases, with initial routes expected to go live in May 2026 and full completion scheduled for October 2026. The design focuses on increased route diversity, higher backbone capacity and improved resiliency across key US trading corridors.

US Liquidity Demand Drives Network Expansion

The company said the expansion is intended to meet growing demand for access to US liquidity outside traditional market hours, particularly from Asia, as trading activity continues to extend into overnight sessions. IPC also linked the buildout to broader expectations of more continuous trading environments in US markets.

The Seattle hub is positioned as a connectivity node between financial market participants and major cloud infrastructure zones. IPC said the wider upgrade is designed to support customers requiring high-availability network performance for trading and data-heavy applications.

Paul Zatek, Global Head of Data Sales at IPC Network Services, said demand for round-the-clock access to US markets is increasing the need for more resilient global connectivity, adding that the programme is designed to support continuous execution strategies across regions.
