Avelacom Optimizes Low-Latency Network Routes From Shanghai Tonglian Data Center

Date 24/06/2026

  • New route optimizations on the Shanghai <> Tokyo and Shanghai <> Hong Kong network segments further improve connectivity between Shanghai Tonglian Data Center and major financial centers across APAC and North America.
  • Supports China onshore/offshore trading, FTSE China A50 strategies, and cross-market commodities arbitrage as Chinese markets are increasingly integrated into global trading flows

Avelacom, the ultra-low latency connectivity and infrastructure provider, has completed a series of network optimizations from Shanghai Tonglian Data Center (上海通数据中心).

The optimized network architecture enhances connectivity from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and onward to Chicago, supporting a range of latency-sensitive trading strategies.

Among the key use cases enabled by the new routes are China onshore/offshore trading, FTSE China A50 trading, and cross-market commodities trading between China and global derivatives markets.

The new network segments deliver:

  • Less than 16.5 ms RTD between Shanghai and Hong Kong
  • Less than 50 ms RTD between Shanghai and Singapore
  • Less than 24 ms RTD between Shanghai and Tokyo, supporting low-latency connectivity towards CME Group markets

Shanghai plays a key role in Asian trading infrastructure. Demand for deterministic low-latency connectivity between China and international financial centers continues to grow as trading firms increasingly deploy cross-market and cross-region strategies.

Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, comments: “Chinese markets are increasingly integrated into global trading flows. Venues such as SHFE and CFFEX are traded alongside international markets including CME, SGX and HKEX. As a result, cross-market latency becomes a critical factor for trading firms operating across regions.”
