Avelacom Launches Lowest Latency Hybrid Route Between Amsterdam and Tokyo

Subscribe to our newsletter

Avelacom, a global provider of low-latency network solutions, has launched a new hybrid fibre and microwave route connecting Amsterdam and Tokyo. The route achieves a round-trip latency of less than 127 milliseconds, establishing a new benchmark for connectivity between Europe and Asian digital asset markets. This expansion complements the company’s existing ultra-low latency infrastructure linking London and Frankfurt to major hubs such as Shanghai and Hong Kong.

The route is specifically designed to support institutional digital asset trading, where execution speed directly influences profitability. Amsterdam has emerged as a significant hub for this activity, hosting venues like BtcTurk and a growing concentration of blockchain validator nodes. Connecting this ecosystem to Tokyo provides traders with high-speed access to global liquidity centres and price discovery on platforms such as Binance.

To achieve these speeds, Avelacom has integrated additional microwave segments into its proprietary hybrid architecture, leveraging its existing Points of Presence. By combining fibre and microwave technologies, the network minimises delays across long-distance paths. This infrastructure investment reflects the increasing demand for high-performance connectivity as Amsterdam evolves into a critical gateway for decentralised networks and global electronic trading.
