IPC Systems, a provider of communications solutions to financial services firms, has partnered with 2Connect Bahrain. This partnership is expected to reduce the installation time to connect Bahrain with trading venues across Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Reportedly, the partnership enables IPC to take advantage of the network and services of 2Connect to deliver its services to financial services firms based in Bahrain and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
According to the IPC systems, the new partnership is likely to provide its customers in the region access to their global network platform, ensuring an access to a community of more than 3,600 on-net financial sites worldwide. The company has said that firms in the region can leverage IPC’s on-net community to connect to trading partners in the Middle East.
IPC system has claimed that the connectivity in Bahrain will form part of a Middle Eastern hub connecting Europe and Asia with global financial network supported by its 24/7/365 service management to facilitate trading on a global scale.
Mathew Whitmore, program manager for IPC network services operations, said: “With a focus on the needs of our customer-base, IPC continues to invest in its network to provide access to the global financial services community, resilient connectivity and scalable capacity our customers depend on. The working partnership between IPC and 2Connect Bahrain is another important step in supporting financial service firms to compete effectively in the modern market place.”
