connectivity to South Africa
Avelacom has
extended its
connectivity offerings
to South Africa
Avelacom has launched a long-haul fibre
route between London (LD4) and the JSE
through its new point-of-presence (PoP)
in Johannesburg.
Avelacom’s primary path connects London
and Johannesburg along the west coast of
Africa, delivering 155.8 milliseconds round-
trip latency.
Avelacom also uses Africa’s east coast
cables to back up nearly 100G of data to
and from JSE.
A
velacom, the high-performance
connectivity and IT infrastructure
solutions provider for the financial services
industry, has announced that it has
extended its connectivity offerings to
South Africa, enabling trading firms to
access the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
(JSE) in a fast and reliable way. Global
banks, HFTs and hedge funds accessing
JSE can now obtain ultra low latency
market data and order handling with
microsecond timestamps.
“We have closed the quality gap in
connectivity between London and
Johannesburg, which was previously a barrier
to trading volume growth,” said Aleksey
Larichev, Avelacom’s Managing Director. “Our
main focus was to create backup connections
which allowed us to reach 99.9% uptime
guarantee and meet the expectations of our
global financial institution clients.”
