Custom Connect’s Ultra Low-Latency Connectivity between Mexico City and New York City Selected by Leading Global Trader

Amersfoort, The Netherlands – November 16, 2011 – Custom Connect, a global reseller of high-performance network solutions, today announced that a major worldwide financial trader selected Custom Connect to deliver connectivity between financial exchanges in Mexico City (MexDer), and 111 8th New York City (COMEX and NYSE Arca). It concerns a dedicated 1G Ethernet connection between locations. The fastest connection offers the lowest possible latency between both markets with a round-trip time of below 55 milliseconds.

This low-latency solution enables the client to expand its business by enabling automated trading between Mexico City and New York City. With increasing levels of competition, lowest latency was a key client requirement in designing this connection between the financial exchanges. Custom Connect designed a unique connection with the lowest latency by optimizing the fiber distance.

Custom Connect offered a tailored solution that:
- Is optimized for Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) and key datacenters;
- Offers the lowest possible latency between Mexico City and 111 8th New York;
- Offers 24x7 support; and
- Included dedicated project management.

“Connections to Mexico City are of high importance since Mexico is an emerging market. Because of growing competition on these markets, latency is mission-critical for our client. Acting on a carrier-neutral basis means that we can meet our client’s requirement, which resulted in the lowest possible latency,” commented Jan Willem Meijer, Executive Director at Custom Connect.
