Trading platforms network replacement


The Trading Networks Project aims to replace ageing network infrastructure, supporting ASX Trade and ASX 24 to deliver greater reliability, scalability and performance. 

This modernisation includes upgrading core connectivity, hardware and software platforms, as well as implementing enhanced security and resilience measures. The project will improve network capacity, speed and stability for trading participants, reduce latency and provide a future-proof architecture to meet evolving technology and regulatory requirements.

Latest updates

On Saturday 15 November (ALC) and Saturday 29 November (SDC) ASX completed upgrades to the infrastructure that provides aggregation for incoming network connections from participants using ASX 24 and ASX Trade gateways located at their Sydney sites. This is a hardware upgrade no impact is expected to trading participants and there is no participant testing required.

On Saturday 13 September 2025, ASX successfully completed the replacement of the ASX Trade ITCH switch. Following the implementation, ASX ITCH customers conducted testing without any issues. The market opened smoothly on Monday, marking the successful delivery of this critical infrastructure upgrade.
