Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The National Australia Bank has chosen IPC - a US-based provider of mission-critical communications systems - to engineer and install VoIP technology for its relocated treasury division on a new dealing floor in Brisbane.
IPC claims to have pioneered the use of VoIP on the trading floor in 2001 and to be still the only provider to have clients trading live via IP. Today it claims to provides trading floor solutions and services used by over 105,00 traders in the world's largest financial services institutions in more than 40 countries.
For the NAB installation it will supply both the back end infrastructure and desktop environment. The new Brisbane dealing room will be equipped with IPC's IQMX, claimed to one of the world's first IP-based trading room desktops claimed to extends the functionality of the switch beyond the physical trading floor to extend IP from the network into the enterprise environment.
According to IPC, the NAB installation in Brisbane is one of only a handful of dealing rooms worldwide running a fully integrated IP solution, not just on the trading floor. Although the new IQMX turrets are in Brisbane they are run off a switch installed in Sydney over the bank's own network.
Mark Adams, head of corporate and institutional sales, National Australia Bank said, "IP is a proven technology that refines everyday functions on the trading floor, allowing National Australia Bank to offer our clients enhanced trading services. IPC's industry experience and IP expertise makes them the clear choice to help us apply technology to strengthen operations, grow our business and remain competitive."
