The BT Unified Trading voice service is now available in 12 more global financial centres. These are: Chicago, Boston, Charlotte, St Louis, San Francisco, Tokyo, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney. The service was already available in New York and London.

Previously known as BT MarketPulse, it delivers voice over IP to the trading room using the BT Radianz cloud. Banks, brokers, investment managers, exchanges and alternative trading venues use this service to integrate data, voice and other multi-media applications through a single, reliable connection. They can also consolidate the many point-to-point connections that are used to deliver voice services to the trading room. It is compatible with all of the trading turrets used in the market today.

Andy Nicholson, president, BT Global Banking & Financial Markets, says: “The global roll-out of the service is significant as it now allows us to provide IP private wire voice trading services within 14 major financial centres and also to or from those cities to anywhere else in the world. The reach of BT’s global network enables us to offer these services in all the major centres and gives customers additional choice in the vendor landscape. We also offer the benefits of feature-rich business continuity planning, self-provisioning and inventory management capability.”
