Hudson Fiber Network debuts passive wavelength technology

Brett Diamond, president and founder, Hudson Fiber Network: "This ultra low-latency, scalable deployment reduces costs by 20 to 40 percent, increases bandwidth availability and cuts down on maintenance windows."

Hudson Fiber Network (HFN), the provider of high bandwidth, low-latency networking solutions, has introduced its passive wavelength technology, the company's optical wavelength, ultra low-latency solution at 1400 Federal Blvd. in Carteret, NJ.

As part of HFN's X-Change Connect, Metro Ethernet family, this passive wavelength technology claims to offer customers the lowest levels of latency across the shortest distance fiber routes within metro-to-metro areas. Incubated in an 18-month collaboration with select partners and customers, HFN is now making this technology available to the buy-side, sell-side and pre- and post-trade service providers in North American metro areas.

HFN's new wavelength-routed, optical network utilizes multiple wavelengths of light to transport data. Built to deliver data faster, this new technological deployment aims to cut the need for additional optical equipment and IT spend to lower latency, while connecting customers to the top exchanges. This technology also claims to deliver unparalleled versatility and maintains solid management characteristics. HFN's passive wavelength technology is part of HFN's ongoing commitment to address the growing need for lower latency connectivity to the world's leading exchanges.

"HFN understands the need to be conservative when it comes to today's IT spend," said Brett Diamond, president and founder of Hudson Fiber Network. "We also recognize the need to stay ahead of the competition. That is why we developed our passive wavelength solution. This ultra low-latency, scalable deployment reduces costs by 20 to 40 percent, increases bandwidth availability and cuts down on maintenance windows - all keeping customers ahead of the game."
