The service connects crypto exchange clouds to meet growing demands for low-latency support.
A provider of ultra-low latency, wireless connectivity for crypto trading, McKay Brothers International (MBI), has launched what it is calling “the lowest latency connectivity” for crypto-trading hubs in Tokyo, London, and Dublin to meet growing demand for low-latency crypto transactions.
“The new service achieves sub-132ms latency (round trip) between Tokyo and London. McKay’s Tokyo-London-Dublin service connects traders hosted in AWS [Amazon Web Services] in Tokyo and those trading at Equinix LD4 in London and AWS in Dublin,” according to the announcement. “McKay’s newest route complements its existing ultra-low latency crypto connectivity from Tokyo to Hong Kong, Singapore, Chicago, and Ashburn.”
MBI officials have previously worked with “infrastructure built for traditional finance connectivity to serve crypto traders,” officials say. “The new Tokyo-London-Dublin service is the company’s first ultra-low latency infrastructure developed exclusively with crypto traders in mind.
MBI, which serves traditional trading firms and digital traders, launched its first European network in 2014 and its first Asian network in 2016, officials say.
“The core of our mission is to level the playing field by providing access to the fastest telecom to the financial markets,” according to the MBI website. “McKay is the acknowledged leader in providing extreme low latency microwave private bandwidth for firms trading in financial markets. McKay’s wireless services are 40 percent faster than fiber and frequently the lowest known latency.”
MBI is “pleased to leverage our many years of leadership in ultra-low latency connectivity for traditional finance to serve the fast-growing low latency crypto market,” says François Tyč, managing director for MBI, in a prepared statement.
