TOKYO -- (Business Wire)
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and
international communications business within the NTT Group (NYSE: NTT),
announced today that it has added a new ultra-low-latency connectivity
service between the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) and Singapore Exchange
(SGX). This new connectivity service will offer the telecom industry’s
lowest-latency level for international leased lines that directly
connect the colocation facilities of JPX and SGX.

This new service connects JPX’s Access Point 3-equipped data center (AP3
center), where many financial institutions have their servers, and SGX’s
data center by just 63.5 milliseconds. This unmatched speed enables
investors trading at JPX and SGX to improve the agility of their
high-frequency trading and strengthen their competitiveness. The latency
level is a round-trip latency measured using a 1Gbps test cable and
1000Base-LX/64-bite packet environment. The latency level may vary
depending on network environment.
63.5 millisecond latency further shortens the already lowest JPX-SGX
latency
Since April 2015, NTT Com's JPX-SGX Co-Location Direct has been
providing the lowest-level latency between JPX and SGX at 63.7
milliseconds by leveraging the company's Asia Submarine Cable Express
(ASE), the shortest cable route between Japan and Singapore. This new
connectivity service succeeds in further shortening that time by adding
an NTT Com Point of Presence (PoP) at the AP3 center in a more
advantageous location that connects to the landing point via the
shortest possible route. Additionally, since the new PoP is directly
connected to the structured cable, an external connection is no longer
needed, ultimately reducing the lead time.
More flexible options to meet a wider range of needs
NTT Com's JPX-SGX Co-Location Direct provides cost savings and
low-latency connectivity for customers using "JPX Co-Location Service
(all)", which is offered by JPX. The new ultra-low-latency option will
be available not just for those customers but also for those using other
colocation and connectivity services. Many customers are expected to
reexamine their options ahead of JPX's planned integration of colocation
services for its Tokyo and Osaka exchanges and the integration of Tokyo
Stock Exchange into the JPX platform, which is scheduled for 2016.
