A Top 10 Global Financial Institution
Cross-Border Low-Latency Trading Network
Client Background
The financial institution faced challenges of high latency and unstable connectivity when connecting to the Hong Kong and Singapore exchanges, which adversely impacted the execution of trading strategies.
Key Challenges
- High latency on cross-border trading links between HKEx and SGX
- Unstable connectivity affecting algorithmic and high-frequency trading performance
- Lack of deterministic latency guarantees from existing providers
- Need for carrier-grade reliability and deterministic performance
StarCloud Solution
We deployed a point-to-point dedicated wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) link for the client, and through route optimization, delivered deterministic transmission latency of under 5 milliseconds.
