WestCom Launches TraderConneX

WestCom Corp. (Booth 519), an international telecommunications company that provides specialty trader voice and data products to the financial industry, announces here at The Channel Partners Conference & Expo that it will launch an enhanced trading platform, TraderConneX (TCX), providing one-day circuit turn-up times for on-net locations.

WestComs TCX network was built specifically for the financial community, and our main objective is to connect trading floors and traders. We work with our customers to bring our network connection exactly where they need it, and with the TCX global platform, we connect on-net customers faster than anyone in the industry, says Kathy Perone, WestCom CEO.

TCX customers are directly connected with a DS1/E1 or higher facilities to their trading floors.

From trader voice ring-down circuits to customer or data circuits between corporate offices to a complex, global hoot n holler network, the TCX platform is designed to meet all customer needs, WestCom says.

WestComs voice network made up of more than 1,500 TCX member locations connects the largest community of traders in the world. By joining the WestCom global network, customers gain access to top investment banks, brokerage houses and hundreds of asset and fund managers worldwide instantly.

The TCX platform benefits everyone involved, says Michael Hirtenstein,WestCom co-chairman.Customers benefit by having their circuits turned up and running effectively within a day, and our agents benefit by having a legitimate ARD provider with a much larger on-net offering than our channel competitors offering services to channel partners.
