Hudson Fiber Network upgrades NY Metro Fast Paths, adds protected circuits

Brett Diamond, President, HFN:

“There is no place for interruption in electronic trading. Because performance and reliability are key."

Hudson Fiber Network, the provider of high-bandwidth, low-latency networking solutions, has announced that it has upgraded its ultra-low latency, metro New York Fast Paths increasing speed to the financial exchanges.

HFN has decreased latency on its 300 Boulevard East in Weehawken, NJ route by 20 percent and its Secaucus, NJ (755 Secaucus Road and 275 Hartz Way) fiber routes by 15 percent that all connect into Carteret, NJ. Furthermore, HFN's Weehawken to Secaucus Fast Path has decreased by 19 percent.

In addition to lower latency, circuits (1 Gig and below) now claim to have inherent protection that initiates when a connection is interrupted. When this occurs, circuits are then automatically rerouted to the next Fastest Path.

"There is no place for interruption in electronic trading. Because performance and reliability are key, HFN is constantly evaluating the marketplace and listening to our customers. This is why we constantly develop innovations that ensure our customers' get the information they need faster and more reliably," said Brett Diamond, President of HFN.

"In addition to our developments at the infrastructure level, we are growing our network and will be opening up international Fast Paths in Hong Kong, London and Singapore in Q1 2011," added Diamond.
