High-Speed Trading Networks Getting Even Faster
The fiber networks driving high-speed trading for major stock exchanges are about to get even faster. Sidera Networks says it will conduct a major upgrade of its low-latency fiber routes connecting major financial data centers in New York and New Jersey, accelerating one of the networks that ties together key trading hubs for the NYSE, NASDAQ and dozens of global exchanges and trading firms. The move underscores the competition among infrastructure providers serving the high-speed trading community, in which a fraction of a second can affect the profitability of a trade. That’s driving a push for lower latency in trade execution, which includes faster routers that claim the ability to execute trades in nanoseconds.
