Trading at the speed of light_
RF Ultra is BSO’s premier radio frequency solution for ultra-low latency trading. Built for financial firms that demand speed, it enables low-latency wireless communication with microsecond latency, dedicated RF transceivers, and reliable real-time data transmission across the Chicago, NJ, and Toronto metro areas.
OUR SERVICE
How does it work?
RF Ultra is a radio frequency-based connectivity product designed for ultra low latency connectivity. As with RF Express, RF Ultra connects major data centres and financial exchanges across our New Jersey, Chicago and Toronto metro area networks.
RF Ultra provides the market’s lowest latency Layer 1 connectivity between two connections on a bit-by-bit basis. Customers connect directly into the circuit interface for a speed of 1.25Gbit/s. Ethernet framing and frame segregation are not required as any signalling protocol can be used.
On 1Gbps circuits customers can also include RF Secure with their service to provide an alternate back-up fibre path for consistent uptime.

Ultra-low latency
RF Ultra delivers microsecond latency by leveraging advanced radio frequency technology and optimised geodesic routing. This ensures minimal signal delay, consistent low jitter, and real-time data transmission, essential for high-frequency and algorithmic trading.
High throughput
With dedicated RF circuits capable of passing 1.25Gbps at GHz spectrum ranges, RF Ultra provides unmatched capacity for latency-sensitive workloads. Firms benefit from both speed and scalability without compromising network performance.
No restrictions
No frame size or signalling protocol restrictions, giving you total flexibility and Unlike traditional connectivity solutions, RF Ultra imposes no restrictions on frame size or signalling protocols. This gives firms complete flexibility and control to transmit trading data securely, reliably, and without artificial bottlenecks. control.
Our paths
BSO’s RF paths are engineered to follow the shortest possible geodesic distance between endpoints. This reduces radio latency, eliminates unnecessary detours, and provides traders with the fastest, most efficient connectivity available.

FAQs
Why should I choose RF Ultra instead of fibre-only connectivity?
Fibre is fast but can’t always guarantee the lowest possible latency. RF Ultra uses direct radio-frequency routes to bypass longer fibre paths, cutting round-trip times to microsecond levels. For trading firms, that speed difference translates into more competitive order execution and reduced slippage.
How does RF Ultra reduce microsecond delay?
By and following the shortest geodesic path between endpoints, RF Ultra avoids unnecessary routing detours. Reducing signal processing minimises signal delay and jitter, giving you consistent, real-time data transmission optimised for financial trading.
Is RF Ultra reliable for high-frequency trading?
Yes. RF Ultra is built for high-frequency and algorithmic trading environments where every microsecond counts. With optional RF Secure fibre backup, your connectivity remains stable even if an RF path is disrupted.
Which financial hubs are supported by RF Ultra?
RF Ultra currently connects key financial centres across Chicago Metro, New Jersey Metro, and Toronto Metro. These routes are optimised for major exchange access, with additional coverage available through BSO’s global network on request.
How quickly can RF Ultra be deployed for trading firms?
Deployment times vary depending on your trading location and infrastructure, but our RF Ultra service is engineered for rapid rollout. In most cases, you can begin trading with microsecond connectivity far faster than with new fibre installations.
