IPC, a leading provider of integrated communication solutions, will make its NAB 2026 Show debut in Booth C 3341. The company will highlight the newly branded One Connect WebRTC matrix intercom platform including Xander, its AI communications assistant, and unveil One Link and One Link Studio professional‑grade physical keypanels. Formerly known as VCOM under the Intracom brand, One Connect has been the industry’s leading soft keypanel and software‑based matrix solution for more than 15 years, delivering mission-critical intercom solutions to broadcast and live production environments.

New name, same commitment to excellence

IPC, trusted by the world’s top 50 major banks for mission‑critical voice communications for over 50 years, acquired Intracom in late 2024. The platform now enters its next phase of innovation at NAB with the technology preview of professional‑grade physical keypanels backed by IPC’s global infrastructure, financial-grade security standards, and 24/7 worldwide support. Attendees will be the first to see how IPC is setting a new standard for broadcast communications by building on a proven foundation while expanding the platform with options for advanced deployment flexibility.

Introducing One Link
One Link delivers unparalleled electro‑acoustical echo cancellation and ultra‑loudspeakers and supports Point to Points, Party Lines, Fixed Groups, and IFBs. The keypanel offers unprecedented power, ease of deployment, and industry leading affordability. With smart button technology, users gain the flexibility and convenience of a software-based intercom system while still enjoying the tactile experience many operators prefer. Channels can be accessed through the touchscreen interface or through four programmable physical smart buttons, allowing every user to work in the way that best fits personal workflow and preferences. One Link is available as a compact desktop form factor with VESA mount, ideal for desks, studios, and production trucks, as well as a 1U rackmount version, One Link Studio, that serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy keypanels. These innovations establish a new precedent for keypanels by delivering a best-in-class user experience with fully IP-based solutions that can operate on premises or in the cloud.

A Platform Built Around Individual Workflows with its own AI

One Connect remains a highly flexible, mission-critical communications platform that is fully adaptable to individual preferences, ensuring reliable, high-performance communications in any environment. The platform supports 100% offline or on premises operation for low latency and secure audio as well as cloud hosted, self-managed communications. For teams that prefer a fully managed experience, IPC offers a turnkey hosting option, eliminating the time-consuming need to maintain servers or infrastructure.

One Connect also includes Xander, the only AI assistant optimized for matrix intercoms. Xander unlocks limitless potential by performing administrative tasks and facilitating system customization and configuration via voice or text commands. Xander also provides users with 24/7/365 tech support.

Explains Nicole D’Antuono, Head of Sales – One Connect, IPC Systems. “NAB marks an exciting new chapter as we introduce One Connect as part of IPC and debut One Link. With our acquisition of Intracom, we are preserving the reliability and performance customers have depended on for years while setting new standards for value and performance in the intercom space. One Connect builds on a proven foundation, and One Link brings new hardware flexibility. NAB is the ideal setting to showcase our tried and tested systems and learn what the professionals in the field both want and need from their communications systems.”

Visitors are invited to participate in interactive demonstrations in booth C 3341 throughout the show.

The Future of Trader Voice Is Intelligence-Driven

In a recent article published in WatersTechnology, journalist Nyela Graham explores how trader voice is evolving as capital markets modernize. The piece examines the structural shifts transforming trading floor communications, from legacy hardware models to AI-enabled, integrated platforms.

The future of trader voice is no longer defined by standalone desk infrastructure. Instead, it is increasingly shaped by interoperability, cloud connectivity, workflow integration, and artificial intelligence.

From Connectivity to Context

As highlighted in the article, today’s trading desks operate across multiple fragmented systems, voice, chat, CRM platforms, compliance tools, and market data feeds. The next phase of trader voice innovation lies in unifying these environments into a cohesive communications ecosystem.

Modern platforms are moving beyond basic telephony toward contextual intelligence, integrating voice interactions with portfolio data, customer records, transcripts, and collaboration tools to enhance decision-making in real time.

AI as a Catalyst for Innovation

The article underscores the growing role of AI in trading communications. Capabilities such as call summarization, contextual insights, and intelligent data surfacing are redefining how voice supports front-office workflows.

As markets become more dynamic and cost pressures increase, intelligent communications infrastructure is becoming a strategic differentiator.

The Trading Desk Is Evolving

Whether through enhanced interoperability, software-driven flexibility, or AI-powered insights, trader voice technology is entering a new chapter.

As Graham notes in WatersTechnology, the conversation is no longer just about devices on a desk, it is about how voice integrates into the broader digital architecture of modern financial markets.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2025 – IPC Systems, a leader in trading communications technology in the global financial markets, has launched IPC OneCall Community. This groundbreaking launch replaces legacy per-line pricing with a simple, all-inclusive subscription model.

Private wires have been the backbone of voice trading, desk to desk communications. Across the world, IPC’s network usage includes 200,000 voice traders, 70,000 connections, and 3,000+ customers that live across more than 290 cities. These lines have also historically been plagued by challenges in predicting capacity, costs, and connectivity requirements resulting in inefficiencies across trading desk commercial operations.

“Legacy per-line pricing models have constrained the way our industry connects,” said Kurt Adams, CEO of IPC. “With OneCall Community, we’re responding directly to what our customers have been asking for, a more flexible, transparent and scalable way to communicate. This launch represents a bold step forward in removing the barriers of cost and complexity while empowering institutions to collaborate freely across markets and geographies.”

This launch comes as part of IPC’s continued investment into their customer base, simplifying connectivity for capital market participants and market adoption. Enthusiasm for the solution has already been strong and continues to accelerate. Over 25% of IPC’s voice customer base have already enrolled in the OneCall Community model, validating its appeal as the future standard for trader communications.

With IPC OneCall Community, clients can take advantage of:

• Unlimited Private Lines – Trade without limits. A single subscription opens global connectivity to any counterparty on the IPC voice network.
• Future-Ready Framework – Seamlessly integrate voice, data, and analytics services across trading desks and counterparties across the world, allowing for complete interoperability across the suite of IPC solutions.

 

“The launch of OneCall Community is the culmination of extensive feedback from our clients,” added Adams. “Our goal is to make connectivity frictionless, inclusive and intelligent so that the global trading community can focus on growth and innovation and not infrastructure.”

This significant advancement comes at the heels of IPC’s role as the preeminent leader in trader voice connectivity and network. IPC continues to scale across the world, across a multitude of financial markets around the world. To date, IPC counts 13,000 new cloud and subscription bookings in fiscal 2025 alone, bringing the total cloud and subscription seats to 28,500.
