Tampnet Carrier, Nasdaq plan ultra-low-latency link between Stockholm and London
Norway-based Tampnet Carrier and Nasdaq say they will partner to create an ultra-low-latency (ULL) fiber-optic link between Stockholm and London. The route, which the collaborators say will offer “market-leading latency,” is slated to launch December 1, 2020.
The new fiber-optic network route will join Tampnet Carrier’s portfolio of tailored fiber connections that run throughout the Nordic region of Europe with transatlantic connectivity to North America (see, for example, "Tampnet upgrades North Sea submarine network"). The low-latency routes aim to meet the requirements of Nordic and European financial market customers as well as those in the gaming, media, and 5G industries.
“I am extremely pleased to present Nasdaq as our reseller on this unique ULL connection between Stockholm and London. Nasdaq is one of the most respected names within the financial markets and we are looking forward to serving customers within the financial markets and other latency-sensitive markets,” commented Cato Lammenes, managing director of Tampnet Carrier.
“As a global market operator and technology provider, efficient and low-latency connections between our European hubs in Northern Europe and other financial centers around the world are critical, and we believe that this partnership will create an even better offering to all our clients across Europe extending our connectivity portfolio,” added Henrik Husman, head of European cash equities, Nasdaq.
