FibreSpan is a network carrier that offers a high-bandwidth, resilient and secure network service for electronic traders and financial exchanges to interconnect with each other in order to dramatically reduce transaction latency.
Bandwidth and latency have become key requirements in today’s trading environments. The market is experiencing significant growth in automated and algorithmic trading, as well as a major increase in trade volumes. Both buy-side and sell-side firms depend on execution speed, where milliseconds can make the difference.
By directly inter-connecting algorithmic trading engines to an exchange’s technical infrastructure, traders can benefit from a significant reduction in latency – helping to shave milliseconds from the time needed to process transactions through the exchange.
A FibreSpan private fibre network offers unmatched speed, performance, stability and security to support the needs of London based financial institutions. It can provide high-bandwidth point-to-point connectivity from the customer’s premises to an exchange datacentre, as well as direct inter-connection between financial establishments and platforms.
