NeXXCom Wireless, a full service wireless product and system supplier with high packet microwave and millimeter wave solutions that drive next-generation IP networks, is deploying its state of the art ultra-low latency microwave radio technology. This technology  intends to cut more than 3 milliseconds (mS) from major fiber networks on the financial trading path between Chicago and New Jersey.

The increase in speed is expected to be highly beneficial  for financial trading firms. NeXXCom Wireless’ technology is below 10mS round trip today which is a significant improvement for High Frequency Trading. Sal S. Benti, CEO of NeXXCom Wireless notes “There is no way to accurately measure the effect of the speed increase but it has been estimated that each 1mS improvement can be worth $100 million to a financial trading firm. Our client firms are highly secretive about their trading network strategies and given the amount of profits involved, it’s understandable.”

NeXXCom Wireless has recently joined the Dark Fiber Community and will provide knowledge of wireless technology advancements to community members. Allied Fiber CEO and founder of the Dark Fiber Community, Hunter Newby commented “Fiber and microwave compliment each other in many areas including HFT and mobile backhaul for LTE. I suspect that as trading firms learn more about NeXXCom Wireless’ technology they will begin proliferating these ultra low latency networks around the glove in the not distant future to gain competitive advantage.”

Hibernia’s recent announcement with Huawei shows that Project Express is underway and taking the necessary steps to complete the cable build. The purpose of Project Express will be to connect London to New York, two of the largest exchanges, with the lowest latency. Announced in 2010, Project Express has made significant strides since then. November 2011 brought on the physical survey where ships surveyed the entire proposed route.

The significance of Hibernia’s latest news with Huawei is that manufacturing of the cable is now underway.

Maura Mahoney, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Sidera Networks sums it up nicely in a recent article for Corp! Magazine – Low Latency is no longer solely imperative to the financial services industry, it is an area of focus for companies across a variety of industries. With the increase of cloud adoption and bandwidth-intensive applications, businesses are utilizing innovative operations that require more efficient network connectivity. Just as minimizing delays in transactions and increasing data speed are critical to success, performance delays can lead to costly outcomes.

_Low latency networks’ real time connectivity is ideal for businesses operating in today’s deadline-driven society. The connectivity facilitates more efficient collaboration between employees, customers, staff, students, and enterprises, saving time and money. For example, low-latency networks are a critical component to providing superior quality care in the healthcare industry. Real time connectivity allows for faster assessments, diagnoses, and collaboration between doctors and nurses.

Speed has become a network must have across industries. Low latency requirements and networks should be tailored to individual clients’ needs. To ensure that your network is suited to support your business’ needs consider the following:

Application performance on high-speed networks can be enhanced by combining low latency and high capacity.

1. High-speed networks act as the ideal platform for applications, such as video-conferencing, rich content, live-streaming media, and access to real-time information.
2. Improve the reliability and accessibility of your cloud-based Web applications via a low latency network.
3. The real-time connectivity provided by a low latency network is ideal for deadline-driven environments.
4. Low latency networks allow for more efficient collaboration, saving time and money.

Another milestone for Hibernia Atlantic hits the marketplace this morning regarding its historic Project Express subsea cable build.  The submarine survey, a critical step in the transatlantic network’s deployment, is now underway and will provide valuable data to assist Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd. in the cable manufacturing process. Specially designed ships will survey the ocean floor to ensure conditions are acceptable and cable is properly designed.

Project Express will offer the lowest latency connectivity in history between New York and London.  On track to be completed in 2012, this is the first transatlantic subsea cable build in over 10 years.

For more information on the deepsea submarine survey, please visit www.hiberniaatlantic.com or read the full announcement below:

HIBERNIA ATLANTIC’S PROJECT EXPRESS MARKS ANOTHER KEY MILESTONE FOR SUB <60 MILLISECOND TRANSATLANTIC SUBMARINE CABLE

DEEP-SEA SUBMARINE SURVEY DESIGNED TO EXPEDITE CABLE MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLATION IS UNDERWAY

SUMMIT, NJ & DUBLIN, IRELAND – June 15th, 2011 – Hibernia Atlantic, the only American-owned, diverse transatlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, announces another important milestone in its Project Express cable build; its deep-sea submarine survey is now underway. A critical step in this historic build, the submarine survey will use specialist ships to sail the exact planned route of the cable from Brean, England to Halifax, Nova Scotia, ensuring the chosen route is free of obstacles and to assess the installation techniques to be used. As the first transatlantic subsea cable build in ten years, Project Express will offer the lowest latency route from New York to London of less than 60 milliseconds.  This will be the fastest, most direct route connecting the continents since the deployment of the first telegraph cables.

Hibernia Atlantic is commencing with the survey now and accelerating to the next phase. The results of this survey will allow for Huawei Marine Networks Co., Ltd. to manufacture the cable to the exact requirements, accommodating the conditions of the seabed and ensuring its resiliency.

“The deep-sea survey is another important step in manufacturing the Express cable system,” states Nigel Bayliff, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Marine Network. “Data which is collected in this survey will allow us to deploy a system properly designed for the changing conditions along the route. Additionally, information received from the survey will greatly enhance system security.”

“The new Express transatlantic cable will provide high capacity, fast speeds, and a secure and reliable environment to transport critical transactions faster from one key financial city or exchange to the next,” states Bjarni Thorvardarson, CEO of Hibernia Atlantic. “Project Express will offer the lowest latency from New York to London, allowing Hibernia to strategically serve this highly competitive marketplace.  The survey, in which we are using three ships to survey the exact route chosen for our Express cable, is a substantial undertaking for Hibernia and we are excited as this marks the start of the physical build and lay of the cable.  We are encouraged by the interest that this cable has received in the financial community and we are excited to be building it for our Express Partners.”

Project Express will be an essential route on Hibernia’s Global Financial Network (GFN).  The GFN currently unites hundreds of global banks and financial exchanges with a single connection and guaranteed 100% up-time SLAs. Built for the financial community, the GFN meets their demanding performance and reliability requirements. Project Express will further strengthen the GFN, reinforcing it as the fastest path across the Atlantic, with additional fast and secure links throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

The first phase of the new build will begin with a new cable from the Brean in Somerset in the UK, to Halifax in Canada then connect to Hibernia’s current low latency cable from Halifax to Lynn near Boston and onwards to New York. In addition, the new system will include branching units for future latency enhancements to the U.S. and Continental Europe. To join those in the financial community that have partnered with Hibernia on this historic build, please contact Hibernia sales at express@hiberniaatlantic.com.
