NeXXCom Wireless' Technology Provides Improved Latency Solutions For High Frequency Trading
Transmission Occurs Approaching the Speed of Light Offering an Advantage Over Traditional Connectivity Routes
NeXXCom Wireless, a broadband wireless equipment and network provider with lowest latency expertise, has published a whitepaper discussing the advantages and disadvantages of various Radio Frequency (RF) technologies when designing high frequency trading networks. The whitepaper highlights NeXXCom Wireless' wireless technology solutions that offer significantly reduced latency for High Frequency Traders.
With fiber optic and wired solutions experiencing an approximate 33% media loss penalty, wireless technologies are emerging as the improved low latency solution. The whitepaper outlines the variety of factors, such as availability, reliability, bandwidth, device latency injection, network handoff and serialization. NeXXCom Wireless' technology takes these factors into consideration, as well as the necessary network architecture, to offer a fast and optimal system implementation.
" Wireless is not new; what is new is the development of the digital signal processing necessary to achieve ultra low latency suitable for use in high frequency trading," states Sal S. Benti, Chairman of NeXXCom Wireless. "Many factors must be considered to effectively use wireless in a latency sensitive network beyond just the latency in the RF link. NeXXCom is achieving the lowest latency systems by maintaining IP standards that maximize the modulation benefits for link performance in long-haul High Frequency Trading. Using our OSI Layer 1 technology, we avoid unplanned latency and offer customers the highest quality solution and the lowest latency through the trade execution platform."
NeXXCom also offers a Metro HFT solution using a millimeter wave radio with a blend of modulation and error coding technologies at OSI Layer 1 Gigabit Ethernet. This unique blend of capabilities allows radios with per device latencies ranging from 10nS to less than 5µS per device; this combination is typically 50% of the latency of the best incumbent fiber solution.
