Talk to us

Not just created. Engineered.

BSO is not a general connectivity provider - we engineer low-latency infrastructure specifically for trading firms, investment banks, brokers, and crypto exchanges. Our global backbone combines fibre routes, microwave and RF links, and proximity hosting to deliver consistent sub-millisecond performance between the world’s most important exchanges.

By optimising routing architecture, leveraging edge compute locations, and deploying SmartNIC and FPGA-based acceleration, we minimise every microsecond of delay. That means faster execution speed, more predictable market access, and a measurable edge in today’s competitive financial markets.

Whether you’re trading equities, derivatives, FX or digital assets, BSO provides dedicated 1:1 connectivity, direct exchange access, and the resilience financial institutions need to operate with confidence.

FAQs - Low Latency Connectivity

How does low latency connectivity benefit trading firms?

Low latency networks give trading firms a competitive edge by reducing execution delays. Faster order routing improves price discovery, reduces slippage, and enables traders to act on opportunities before competitors.

What kind of businesses need ultra-low latency connectivity?

It’s essential for high-frequency traders, hedge funds, brokers, and asset managers who depend on rapid data transmission. Firms building new trading strategies or expanding into global markets also benefit from reduced latency.

What makes BSO’s low latency network different?

BSO designs routes specifically for financial services. Our infrastructure delivers ultra-low latency connectivity performance between global trading hubs and is engineered for resiliency with multiple path options and 24/7 monitoring. Fibre-based solutions are measured in milliseconds, while our RF/Millimetre waves are measured in microseconds.

Which markets and venues can I access?

We connect directly to leading exchanges and liquidity providers across London, New York, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other key centres, supporting equities, FX, commodities, and derivatives.

How does low latency impact technology teams?

IT leaders gain predictable, high-performance connectivity without the overhead of managing multiple vendors. Our service includes monitoring, support, and route optimisation, freeing in-house teams to focus on trading systems and business growth.

Is low latency connectivity cost-effective?

Yes. While it’s a premium service, the ROI comes from reduced trading losses, faster market access, and greater operational efficiency. The performance advantage in competitive markets often offsets the cost.
