NexGen Networks, a leading global provider of ultra high-speed fiber-optic services with a distinctive customer service approach, has announced the continuation of recent service expansions to the vital commercial center of Chicago with plans to build into the Chicago Board of Trade at 141 W Jackson. Clients at the world’s oldest futures and options exchange will be able to take advantage of NexGen’s tailored service and renowned high-speed connectivity.

"The environment can change rapidly in the industries we serve, and we have to work proactively to make sure that our services are equal to the demands of the market,” says NexGen’s Jeffrey Barth. “Indeed, one of the hallmarks of NexGen’s success has been constant enhancement and expansion of our services, and today’s announcement of service into the Chicago Board of Trade reaffirms that commitment.”

Established in 1848 as the first futures and options exchange in the world, the Chicago Board of Trade handles 3 billion contracts worth approximately $1 quadrillion annually through open outcry and electronic trading. NexGen’s high-speed, high-availability services will help to ensure that individuals, companies, and institutions can trade and communicate with the utmost confidence in the ability of the network infrastructure to meet their needs.

This latest Chicago service expansion comes on the heels of recent builds in Chicago’s Willis Tower and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, thus continuing NexGen’s strategic efforts to strengthen its network offerings in this crucial market.
