ISE Extends Deadline for Data Center GPS Removal
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 means folks using the Exchange’s co-location services can keep syncing their systems with GPS time a bit longer before the antennas must come down. No extra fees or costs are mentioned, just a new deadline to keep things running smoothly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Monthly Fee Continues Through Extension
Existing dedicated GPS antenna customers will continue to be charged the recurring monthly fee of $600.00 (prorated as appropriate) until April 30, 2026. That fee will be assessed even during the extension period.
No Installation Fee During Extension
The Exchange will not charge the $1,500 installation fee for dedicated GPS antenna service during the extension period because new orders for that service were closed as of September 30, 2025. Existing customers will not be billed the $1,500 installation fee through April 30, 2026.
Deadline to Remove GPS Antennas Extended
If you use Nasdaq ISE's dedicated GPS antenna in the NY11 data center, the Exchange moved the removal deadline from April 1, 2026, to April 30, 2026. This gives co-location customers one extra month to remove dedicated antennas or finish testing the shared GPS service.
Shared GPS Network Completion Delayed
The Exchange moved the planned completion date for the new shared GPS network from March 1, 2026, to March 27, 2026. The Exchange cites this delay as the reason for extending the dedicated-antenna removal date to April 30, 2026 so customers have time to test the shared service.
No New Dedicated GPS Orders Since Sept 30, 2025
The Exchange stopped permitting new orders for the dedicated GPS antenna service as of September 30, 2025. Firms that want GPS timing going forward must use the shared GPS option (the shared service has an installation fee of $900 and a $600 monthly fee).
