Avelacom Expands London Network Infrastructure With New Point of Presence at Equinix LD7

Subscribe to our newsletter

Avelacom has expanded its global infrastructure by establishing a new Point of Presence (PoP) at the Equinix LD7 data centre. This new deployment complements the company’s existing presence in the LD4, LD5, and LD8 facilities, consolidating its footprint within a major connectivity hub for financial markets. The expansion aims to meet growing institutional demand for proximity hosting and high-speed network solutions.

By locating within LD7, Avelacom minimises the physical distance to London’s traditional and digital asset exchanges, as well as their ecosystems of custodians and brokerage firms. This proximity enables proprietary trading firms to benefit from faster real-time market data and order execution. Specifically, the upgrade enhances the popular London to Tokyo trading route, achieving round-trip latency of under 138ms via fibre and under 130ms using a hybrid fibre and microwave path.
