Texas Nasdaq Extends GPS Antenna Grace Period

Published Date: 4/1/2026

Notice

Summary

Nasdaq Texas is giving its customers more time to remove their dedicated GPS antennas from its data center. This means folks using the Exchange’s special GPS timing service can keep it a bit longer before it’s shut down. No extra costs are mentioned, but the deadline extension helps customers plan better.

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.

Monthly Fee Continues Through Extension

Existing customers who keep a dedicated GPS antenna will be charged the ongoing monthly fee of $600.00 (prorated as appropriate) through April 30, 2026. The Exchange will not charge the $1,500 installation fee during this extension period.

Deadline Extended for Antenna Removal

If you operate co-located equipment in Nasdaq Texas with a dedicated GPS antenna, the Exchange moved the removal deadline from April 1, 2026 to April 30, 2026. You can keep using the dedicated GPS antenna through April 30, 2026 while you transition to the shared GPS service.

Shared GPS Service Pricing Listed

The Exchange lists the shared GPS connection installation fee as $900 and the monthly fee for the shared connection as $600.00. Firms that choose to migrate to the shared service will face these listed fees.

Shared GPS Build Completion Delayed

Nasdaq Texas delayed completion of its new shared GPS network from March 1, 2026 to March 27, 2026. The Exchange says the later completion date motivated extending the dedicated-antenna removal date to allow clients time to test the shared service.

Switch to Shared GPS Optional

The GPS timing service is optional and firms may cancel or switch at any time; customers who want to continue timing after removal of dedicated antennas can request the shared GPS antenna service. About 49% of co-location customers subscribe to the GPS service and most have chosen the shared option.
