Firm Claims “Lowest Known” Asia-Illinois Latency

Microwave and wireless network provider McKay Brothers says it has launched the “lowest known” latency market data services between Illinois’ largest futures exchanges and Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The firm has also launched Transpacific private bandwidth services that it claims are faster than any known alternative and offers a package of select futures market data, including equity indexes, interest rates, FX, agricultural/softs, energy, metals and crypto futures. The US-sourced data is redistributed in Tokyo-CC2, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Tokyo-sourced data is redistributed in Aurora, IL, Singapore, and Hong Kong. All are redistributed at the lowest known latency, the firm reiterates.

“We are thrilled to redistribute key instruments from CME, ICE, and JPX at the lowest known latency between Asian and US exchanges,” says Francois Tyc, McKay Brothers managing director. “In addition to our latency being differentiated, both our private bandwidth and market data services are provided on a level playing field for all subscribers.”
