Fast Trade
Specifically designed for Finance customers involved in algorithmic trading.
Fast Trade is a high quality bandwidth service specifically designed for Finance customers who require extremely low latency and low packet loss on links between locations.
Fast Trade is a point to point service based on Interoute’s SDH and wavelength platforms. As the bandwidth purchased is entirely dedicated to the customer Fast Trade’s latency does not vary during the working day. Circuits take the shortest path between end points which also ensures that the most optimal latency is achieved. Bandwidths options are from 100Mbps/STM-1 up to 10Gbit/s. Further to SDH and wavelength interfaces, Ethernet is also available and this increases the number of bandwidth steps below 1000Mbps from two to seven allowing the purchased bandwidth to grow in line with the customer’s requirements.
The contractual round trip delay of Fast Trade circuits is based on the exact route that the circuit will take and is measured before handover to the nearest 100 microseconds. This forms the basis of the premium service level agreement and cancellation clauses underpinning the service.
Fast Trade circuits receive special priority treatment in the Interoute network Operations Centre and will not be re-routed at any point during the contract ensuring that the route-specific round trip delay does not vary due to the circuits taking a longer path between end points. Records of any routine maintenance work carried out are available for auditing purposes upon request.
