Avelacom, the global provider of low latency network and infrastructure solutions, has expanded its Latin American footprint through a direct connection to the infrastructure of nuam, the regional holding company that integrates the stock exchanges of Chile, Colombia, and Peru.
Avelacom has deployed a physical point of presence (PoP) at Equinix ST1 data center in Santiago, Chile. This enables global institutional clients to access real-time market data and order routing via ultra-low latency connectivity paths with built-in redundancy. The infrastructure supports both single-market access to Chile, Colombia or Peru, as well as unified access across all three nuam markets.
This connection builds on Avelacom’s established presence in Latin America. The company has operated in the region since 2020, initially supporting institutional trading on the Brazilian Exchange (B3). More recently, Avelacom expanded into Argentina through a dedicated partnership with Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (BYMA) and the launch of a new PoP in Buenos Aires.
Together, these deployments create a growing regional infrastructure layer connecting Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, enabling efficient cross-market trading between Latin America and major global financial hubs in North America, Europe and Asia.
“Latin America is moving from fragmented local markets to a region where cross-border trading strategies increasingly matter,” said Lorenz Voss, Managing Director of Avelacom. “This new connection to nuam’s infrastructure extends Avelacom’s low latency infrastructure across Chile, Colombia, and Peru, complementing our established presence in Brazil and Argentina. We see nuam as a key platform for institutional clients that require predictable performance, control, and reliability to operate effectively across the region.”
Avelacom’s infrastructure is designed for latency-sensitive trading strategies, including algorithmic and proprietary trading, as well as resilience-critical use cases such as global and regional banking operations. This enables more efficient market making, arbitrage, cross-market strategies, and market access in Chile, Colombia, and Peru - at the performance standards expected by global institutional clients.
“This expansion of connectivity enables us to continue expanding the range of opportunities available to investors seeking exposure to Latin American markets said Andrés Araya Falcone, Chief Technology Officer at nuam. “It also reflects our firm commitment to developing a modern and efficient regional infrastructure, fully connected to the world’s major financial centers. The availability of ultra-low latency connectivity across Chile, Colombia, and Peru represents another meaningful step in strengthening an ecosystem capable of attracting a broader and more diverse set of market participants. For nuam, having this type of direct connection reinforces our long-term vision of a more competitive, deeper, and globally integrated Andean market.”
