Ultra-low latency trading infrastructure for financial markets _

BSO Ultra is a suite of ultra-low latency connectivity products designed for financial firms and trading organisations that depend on sub-microsecond execution speed. It includes RF Ultra, RF Express, Ethernet Express and Crypto Connect, each targeting different latency and bandwidth requirements across global financial markets.

Ultra-low latency trading infrastructure describes network architecture optimised to minimise the time between a trading signal and its execution at an exchange. BSO Ultra combines microwave and radio frequency routes, dark fibre connectivity, FPGA-based hardware and colocation near exchanges to reduce round-trip latency to sub-microsecond levels on key financial routes.

BSO achieves round-trip latencies under one microsecond on key routes using RF and microwave links with optimised cross-connects. For fibre-based routes, latency is measured and monitored using picosecond-accurate timestamping. Specific figures are available on request for individual routes and market pairs.

RF Ultra provides a dedicated 1.25Gbps Layer 1 radio frequency connection designed for the absolute lowest achievable latency, available across New Jersey, Chicago and Toronto metro networks. RF Express offers sub-rate Layer 2 Ethernet connections over the same RF infrastructure. Ethernet Express delivers low-latency fibre-based connectivity across global financial markets from 10Mbps to 10Gbps and beyond, suited to firms where bandwidth is prioritised alongside speed.

BSO Ultra supports connectivity across major global financial hubs including London, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore. Key optimised routes include London to New York, London to Tokyo, and metro area networks across New Jersey, Chicago and Toronto for RF-based products.

BSO Ultra is used by high-frequency trading firms, proprietary trading desks, quantitative hedge funds, algorithmic trading operations and crypto arbitrage firms. It is also used by brokers and financial technology platforms that require direct market access with controlled, measurable latency performance.

BSO uses picosecond-accurate timestamping and real-time route analytics to monitor round-trip times and jitter continuously. Performance is tracked across all critical routes, and specific latency figures for individual market pairs are available on enquiry.

Yes. BSO's infrastructure is designed to align with DMA and colocation standards applicable in regulated financial markets globally. Compliance and security requirements are built into the network architecture from the outset, not applied as an afterthought.

Yes. Proprietary trading desks, crypto arbitrage operations, quantitative strategies and brokers executing at scale all benefit from reduced latency even where high-frequency trading is not the core strategy. Faster access to order books reduces slippage and improves fill quality across a wide range of execution styles.
