Nasdaq Pushes Back GPS Antenna Removal Deadline in NJ Data Center
Published Date: 4/1/2026
Notice
Summary
Nasdaq ISE is giving its customers more time to remove their dedicated GPS antennas from its Carteret, NJ data center. This extension delays the original deadline, letting users keep syncing their systems with GPS time a bit longer. No extra costs or fees are mentioned, just a simple deadline push to keep things running smoothly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Monthly Fee Continues Through Extension
Nasdaq ISE will continue charging existing dedicated GPS antenna customers the recurring monthly fee of $600.00 (prorated as needed) through April 30, 2026; the $1,500 installation fee will not be charged during this extension period and new orders have not been permitted since September 30, 2025.
Removal Deadline Pushed One Month
If you subscribe to a dedicated GPS antenna at Nasdaq ISE's NY11 data center, the required removal deadline moved from April 1, 2026 to April 30, 2026. You can keep using your dedicated antenna until April 30, 2026 or choose to stop earlier if you wish.
Shared GPS Network Completion Delayed
The Exchange moved the completion date for the new shared GPS network from March 1, 2026 to March 27, 2026. That delay is the reason Nasdaq ISE extended the dedicated-antenna removal date so clients have time to test the shared service before termination.
