Chicago, US-based international carrier and market data provider Anova Financial Networks (AFN) has partnered with a transatlantic cable company to deliver the fastest commercially available service from Chicago to London, a critical route for trading, the firm said.

This collaboration marks a significant shift in the solutions marketplace by combining the two companies' respective network strengths to offer unparalleled latency from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to Equinix's Slough datacenter.

This unique offering melds AFN's high-capacity Chicago to New Jersey microwave connectivity with an ultra-fast transatlantic fiber system that spans from New Jersey to London.

The result is a cutting-edge private bandwidth product that would otherwise require significant investment and complex integration by individual clients.

The network is further enhanced by the ability to extend to Dublin, Frankfurt, Bergamo and other liquidity centers throughout Europe and Asia.

Anova and its partner expect this combined product will establish a new benchmark for transatlantic and inter-European trading connectivity.

Anova Financial Networks is a global carrier that offers private bandwidth and market data distribution across traditional and digital asset classes.

AFN's innovative low-latency technologies and client-centric approach enable the company to deliver secure and reliable solutions for banks, cloud-based & proprietary trading firms and exchanges worldwide.
