Dedicated GPS Antenna Removal Extended
If you are a Nasdaq co-location customer using a dedicated GPS antenna in the NY11 (Carteret, NJ) data center, Nasdaq moved the termination and removal deadline from April 1, 2026 to April 30, 2026. You can continue using the dedicated antenna until April 30, 2026 or remove/convert it earlier if you choose.
Monthly Fee Continued; Installation Fee Waived
Nasdaq will continue charging existing dedicated GPS antenna customers the recurring monthly fee of $600.00 (prorated as appropriate) through April 30, 2026. Nasdaq will not charge the $1,500 installation fee during this extension period.
Shared GPS Network Completion Delayed
Nasdaq delayed completion of the new shared GPS network from March 1, 2026 to March 27, 2026. Nasdaq says this delay supports a more coordinated transition and gives customers extra time to test the shared GPS service before the dedicated service ends on April 30, 2026.
