Avelacom Completes Network Optimisations for Low-Latency Trading from Shanghai

Subscribe to our newsletter

Avelacom has completed a series of network optimisations from the Shanghai Tonglian Data Centre, to improve connectivity between Shanghai and major global financial hubs, including Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, and Chicago.

The newly optimised routes deliver round-trip delays of under 16.5 milliseconds to Hong Kong, less than 50 milliseconds to Singapore, and under 24 milliseconds to Tokyo, which also supports onward connectivity to CME Group markets. These improvements facilitate latency-sensitive trading strategies, including onshore and offshore China trading, FTSE China A50 trading, and cross-market commodities trading between global derivatives markets.

As Shanghai maintains a key role in Asian trading infrastructure, these network upgrades address the growing demand from trading firms requiring deterministic, low-latency connectivity to deploy cross-market and cross-region strategies.
