McKay Brothers International has announced the launch of ultra-low latency connectivity for Tokyo-London-Dublin.
The new ultra-low latency service connects crypto exchange clouds in Tokyo with those in London and Dublin in a move that addresses the rising adoption of the crypto asset class for trading purposes.
“Ultra-low latency connectivity for traditional finance”
Francois Tyc, Managing Director at McKay Brothers International, said: “Crypto trading increasingly demands low latency. We are pleased to leverage our many years of leadership in ultra-low latency connectivity for traditional finance to serve the fast-growing low latency crypto market.”
The key crypto trading hubs in Japan, the United Kingdom, and Ireland will now be connected by a service that achieves sub-132ms latency (round trip) between Tokyo and London.
McKay’s Tokyo-London-Dublin service connects traders hosted in AWS in Tokyo and those trading at Equinix LD4 in London and AWS in Dublin. The newest route complements its existing ultra-low latency crypto connectivity from Tokyo to Hong Kong, Singapore, Chicago, and Ashburn.
The firm previously leveraged existing infrastructure built for traditional finance connectivity to serve crypto traders. The new Tokyo-London-Dublin service is the company’s first ultra-low latency infrastructure developed exclusively with crypto traders in mind.
McKay Brothers established connectivity between NYSE and TMX
McKay Brothers recently deployed ultra low latency private bandwidth between key New Jersey equity exchanges and TMX Group exchanges in Markham, Ontario, achieving less than 1.754 milliseconds one-way (measured between the Mahwah carrier room and the TMX colo hall in Markham).
McKay Brothers stated the newest wireless network is part of a growing commitment to serve Canadian markets, which effectively started in 2022 when McKay’s sister company, Quincy Data, began providing what it claims to be the lowest latency market data service from CME to TMX.
In 2023, McKay said it launched the lowest latency private bandwidth service from the CME in Aurora, Illinois to TMX in Markham. McKay’s wireless networks have been live in North America since 2012, Europe since 2014, and Asia since 2016. The company’s transpacific network went live last year, connecting the CME with trading hubs in Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Quincy Data is recognized as the leading distributor of extremely low latency market data via its global QED platform. McKay and Quincy have leveled the playing field for access to the fastest connectivity between financial markets and the most up-to-date market data.
McKay distributes Cboe UK cash equities raw data at LSE
In July 2023, McKay Brothers International launched its low latency market data service, distributing Cboe UK cash equities raw data at the London Stock Exchange via its wireless QRD service. Cboe UK equities data is sourced at Slough-LD4 and distributed at the LSE’s Telehouse North 2 data center. The QRD service distributes the full Cboe UK CXE and BXE feeds in their native exchange format.
McKay Brothers International distributes both raw and normalized market data to key exchange-trading European hubs in London, Frankfurt, Bergamo/Milan, Zurich, and Madrid. The company sources data from the world’s most important financial exchanges, including Eurex, ICE-Liffe, the London Metal Exchange, Cboe, and the CME Group. MBI’s extensive ultra-low latency European private bandwidth services connect the UK, Frankfurt, Zurich, Milan/Bergamo and Madrid.
Also in 2023, McKay Brothers International’s Josada team extended its lowest latency market data service into Shanghai, by connecting to local exchanges such as the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE). The firm’s QED service provides low latency connectivity for select CME and ICE Futures market data, including energy, metals, FX, agricultural/softs, and equities. McKay’s Quincy Extreme Data (QED) platform is a normalized market data feed of select instruments from leading financial exchanges around the world. QED services are tailored to meet the needs of both: firms seeking the lowest latencies as well as firms whose value equation focuses on latency improvements over even the fastest fiber.
