Transaction Network Services (TNS) has expanded its global market data and infrastructure footprint in the APAC region by adding connectivity to the Japan Alternative Market (JAX), providing customers with direct, managed access to JAX’s market data feeds.
JAX began operations in December 2024, adding a new trading venue to Japan’s equities market. Through TNS’ connectivity, global firms can access JAX market data and incorporate it into their trading and analytics workflows.
While Asian exchanges often require bespoke broker connections for order routing and clearing, TNS simplifies market data access. Firms can leverage TNS’ expansive extranet, consisting of over 5,000 endpoints for local broker access, and can view JAX market data alongside other major exchanges via TNS’ low latency managed global network.
According to a press statement, the JAX integration reinforces TNS’ continued investment in expanding its APAC footprint and delivering reliable, low-latency market data to customers worldwide. TNS’ Japanese exchange portfolio also includes Japannext, Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) and the Japan Exchange Group (JPX), which encompasses the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), Osaka Exchange (OSE), and Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM).
