IPC System Intros MAXaccess 1000

IPC Systems (News - Alert), a provider of indispensable communications, announced general availability of its MAXaccess 1000TM trader mobility and business continuity tool as a part to upgrade its Alliance MX 15.2 multi-media platform. In addition to this, it also announced Pali Capital, a global, full-service institutional securities firm and investment bank, has ordered MAXaccess, along with a host of IPC's award-winning IQ/MAX trading turrets.

 

Pali has ordered MAXaccess after successful beta test among its traders. MAXaccess, translates the essential functionality of a trader's turret onto any desktop with a PC, broadband access and telephone. MAXaccess can be deployed from any place to provide immediate access to customer and market information. Further, along with access to liquidity, MAXaccess provides a cost-effective business continuity solution, protecting against unforeseen disruptions or unexpected outages that could prevent regular turret access.

 

"From the very start of the beta testing, it was apparent that MAXaccess was an excellent complement to the desktop turret," said Naresh Singh, chief information officer at Pali Capital. "It is clear that IPC understands how to make traders more productive. This new offering enables our traders to interact with our clients, accessing all critical turret functionality, including automatic ringdown circuits as if they were at their desks. No other product on the market provides the flexibility to competitively access the market regardless of location, time zones, or access to the office."

 

As part of IPC's commitment to develop innovative VoIP solutions for the most-demanding trading environments, the Alliance MX 15.2's new capabilities allow customers to implement completely resilient networks and ensure true "end-to-end" resiliency for IP trading floor telephony. The IQ/MAX also features dual network ports for redundancy, and the Alliance software has been upgraded.

 

"IPC has continually led the financial services industry in developing the next-generation of trading technology, and the Alliance MX 15.2 upgrade is the latest example," said Michael Speranza, IPC vice president of product management. "The innovations offered by the upgrade and the availability of MAXaccess provide traders with additional flexibility, security and protection against various types of service disruptions or remote needs, resulting in enhanced access to markets and increased productivity."
