The section will not only house ARCs but also key service providers operating within the ARC value chain and promises to be a vibrant community of likeminded members, such as software platform and connectivity companies.

James Gribben, Chief Commerical Officer, said: “Response has been extremely positive since we wrote to members detailing our plan – the new section promises to be extremely popular and is reflective of the fast-evolving ARC marketplace with key topics such as All-IP, cloud technologies and the regulated vs. unregulated marketplace undoubtedly high on the agenda.

"Whilst we naturally welcome existing members to take part in the section, we would also be delighted to talk to potential new members about BSIA membership of the ARC section.”
