TNS Expands APAC Footprint with Connectivity to Japan Alternative Market

Subscribe to our newsletter

Transaction Network Services (TNS) has expanded its infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region by establishing connectivity to the Japan Alternative Market (JAX). This integration provides customers with direct, managed access to market data feeds from JAX, which began operations in December 2024 as a new trading venue for Japanese equities. Global firms can now incorporate this data into their trading and analytics workflows through TNS’s extensive global network.

This new connection addresses the complexity of accessing Asian exchanges, which often require bespoke broker arrangements. TNS simplifies this by enabling clients to view JAX market data alongside other major exchanges via a low-latency managed network and an extranet of over 5,000 endpoints. The addition of JAX reinforces TNS’s presence in the region, joining an existing Japanese exchange portfolio that includes Japannext, the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX), and the Japan Exchange Group (JPX).
