wave wireless connectivity between LSE City of London datacentre and the Equinix data centre in Slough, significantly reducing latency between these key locations. • Optimised path with the network deviating only 3% from the geodesic straight line between the locations enabling data transmission to be up to 40% quicker than traditional low latency fibre routes. • Network offering a shared bandwidth service with a total capacity of 1Gb delivered through the use of millimetre wave technology – more bandwidth available for trading clients enabling greater flexibility and transmission of data (including raw market data sets). • Service utilises numerous repeater stations between the two end locations, with an average distance between each repeater of less than 3 miles. Anticipated that clients will retain fibre connectivity for resiliency. • Signal strengths improved by installing additional links and reducing the distance between each repeater, to reduce the impact of rain.
