IPC Introduces Enhanced Voice Services in Paris

Paris based financial firms can implement state-of-the-art resiliency options to protect trader communications and enable seamless business continuity

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey, June 1, 2010 - IPC Systems, Inc., a leading provider of indispensable trading
communications solutions to the world's top financial services firms and
global enterprises, today announced the introduction of its Enhanced Voice
Service (EVS) in Paris, France. EVS is IPC's Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP)-based service that provides an additional layer of protection for
companies implementing business continuity programs.

Through EVS IPC customers can implement resilient delivery options to a
single site to ensure delivery of critical services in the event of an access
link fault, or take advantage of simultaneous circuit presentation to
multiple sites to satisfy business continuity planning and disaster recovery
connectivity requirements. Delivered across IPC's intelligent global network,
this service offering provides SIP-based resilient voice services designed
specifically for traders such as Automatic Ring Down (ARD), Open Wire / Hoot
& Holler and Manual Ring Down (MRD) that are engineered for superior quality,
security and availability. Additionally, IPC's ever growing extranet
comprising more than 4,000 global trading firms, market participants and
venues can facilitate rapid connections to trading partners and take full
advantage of the benefits of IP within their trading environment.

The service enhancement in Paris follows the strategic deployment of EVS
in key financial centers worldwide including Toronto, Singapore and Hong
Kong. EVS is a fully-managed service that protects critical Trader Voice
circuits designed specifically to mitigate or practically eliminate the risk
of voice connectivity downtime. Multiple methods and levels of redundancy can
ensure uninterrupted communication between trading partners providing an
extremely robust solution for business continuity and disaster recovery
(BCP/DR) protection.

"We are extremely pleased to announce the introduction of EVS to our
Paris based customers," said Dave Brown, senior vice president, Network
Services Operations, IPC. "Europe is a key expansion zone for IPC and we are
committed to providing the optimum trading network for our customers in
Europe. Advanced services like Enhanced Voice Services and Electronic
Connectivity Services provide the competitive advantages trading firms must
have in order to succeed in today's global financial marketplace."

This continued investment in state-of-the-art backbone infrastructure and
technology expands IPC's global trading extranet providing participants with
direct access to reach its customers and execution venues across the region.
IPC delivers customer voice and electronic trading data over a secure
converged IP-based network offering low-latency and high-performance. It
features connections across multiple carriers and routes providing our
customers with resilient service delivery and self-healing re-routing
capabilities built-in.

IPC's global network infrastructure is designed and built for full
redundancy and high performance. Additionally, IPC customers can depend on
the company's Global Solutions Operations Centers to proactively monitor the
network 24×7x365, ensuring availability and reliability.
