Kevin Covington, Executive Vice President of Business and Product Development, BT Radianz, said: “The need for both the buy and sell side to have minimum latency connectivity has never been more acute. Radianz Ultra Access meets that need by providing a best-of-breed technology that gives unrivalled speed and reliability to a market that judges its success in the ability to connect and execute trading strategies in milliseconds. By giving our clients the fastest and most reliable connections possible, with high visibility into system performance, they will gain an enviable competitive position.”
Tom Price, Senior Analyst, Securities and Capital Markets, TowerGroup, added: “Speed is a competitive differentiator for market participants using advanced trading strategies, including algorithms, automated electronic trading systems, and other trading applications and strategies. The ability to consume massive amounts of data, translate it into actionable opportunity, and get orders to the appropriate execution venue ahead of the competition is key to success. Given the high cost, in dollars and time, of maintaining point to point exchange connections, many institutions would benefit from using shared market infrastructure and high speed services to provide the necessary offering to reduce latency.”
BT Radianz offers two solutions that address our customers’ need for low latency. Radianz Proximity Solution, which has been rolled out to all the major financial centers, allows customers to get their trading engines closer to execution venues. Radianz Ultra Access provides unparalleled speed to trading venues. BT Radianz plans to expand Radianz Ultra Access service to additional trading venues in the near future.
