Some of the World’s Most Demanding Customers Rely On AboveNet
Whether it is the extreme low-latency required for algorithmic trading, the secure completion of financial and banking transactions, or the physically diverse network connections that provide critical disaster recovery paths, AboveNet meets the needs of our customers every day.

The latency performance of your network can make the difference between success and a missed revenue opportunity -
“if a broker’s electronic trading platform is 5 ms behind the competition it could lose them at least 1% of their flow- that’s $4 million in revenues per ms”
-TABB Group

We Provide Our Customers An Alternative Choice to Legacy Networks
When your critical communications have to negotiate lengthy, multiple network connection points transaction can be slowed. And, the more network electronics and hardware the packet signal has to negotiate the greater the delay before your data arrives. As your critical orders are crossing network interfaces and being converted from optical to electrical and back, the delay or latency increases.

 

Delivering lowest latency throughput:
A dedicated, end-to-end fiber
network solution
Often legacy networks provide end-to-end connectivity over a mixed media, of copper and fiber-based networks, connected to various devices and interfaces.

The solution is simple
Provide a private, end-to-end, fiber network design that bypasses potential failure points of legacy networks. This design has been proven with the high bandwidth solutions provided for some of the world’s most demanding customers, those with latency-sensitive applications, like stock exchanges and financial institutions. AboveNet meets the needs of enterprises and carriers on a daily basis for highly secure, extreme low-latency connectivity.

We’re looking for rock solid network security from end to end, diversity and redundancy in the network for the highest reliability.”
