Colt Lays New Fibre to Cut Latency on Two European Routes
24 Aug 2010
Colt is opening network routes between London and Frankfurt, and Paris and Brussels, which it claims provide the lowest latency in the market and which are already attracting customers from trading firms. Leveraging optical fibre technology from California’s Infinera, the London to Frankfurt route offers latency of 4.22 milliseconds between endpoints at London’s Poplar Business Park and Schmidstrasse in Frankfurt. The Malakoff (Paris) to Anderlecht (Brussels) route operates at a latency of 2.65ms. Both will be open by the first week of September.
