Tata Communications has extended its low latency network in Asia
with direct connections to the National Stock Exchange of India
Limited (NSE), the Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) and the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange (HKEx). As a result, it claims to support mission
critical, real-time trading applications by seamlessly connecting the
exchanges with major financial capitals in Asia, the United Kingdom
and the United States.
The pure Ethernet platform with native multipoint support enables
financial trading businesses and other companies that require latency
sensitive connectivity to respond faster in the dynamic Asian market.
The global network integrates exchanges with market leading low
latency connectivity to Europe and beyond, enabling firms to reach
major financial centres, such as in Chicago and London in
milliseconds, through a single network and single supplier model.
Genius Wong, Senior Vice President, Global Network Services, Tata
Communications, says, “Given the challenging economic conditions,
fast, secure and reliable connectivity is crucial for businesses. The
extension of our network via direct connections to SGX, HKEx and NSE
exchanges will enable financial trading firms around the world to
execute faster transactions and receive immediate market updates,
mitigating financial risks and becoming more participative in the
global economy.”
Jonathan Leung, Vice President and Head of
Hosting Services, Hong Kong Stock Exchange adds, “Members of our
ecosystem will be able to easily access Tata Communications’
services through a direct cross connect. Tata Communications’
network will further allow our members to connect directly to some of
the major financial centres and cities in the world.”
Joel Stradling, Research Director, Current
Analysis says, "The expansion of Ethernet connectivity into
major stock exchanges in India, Singapore and Hong Kong, strengthens
Tata Communications’ global low latency portfolio targeting
financial institutions by adding strategically significant markets to
an existing global low latency footprint. Customers that need low
latency connectivity into NSE, SGX and HKEx can take advantage of
several unique differentiators within Tata Communications' Ethernet
range, such as its round-the-world cable assets and
the benefits of an innovative and unique PBB architecture."
This expansion announcement is the latest example of Tata
Communications’ vision to make global businesses better connected
and enhance collaboration between enterprises across established and
emerging markets.
