FCGN
During a 12 month design and
build process, the bank chose what it called “best of breed providers” to
provide low latency intercontinental land and subsea cable routes for fully
resilient global connectivity.
Local dark fibre and DWDM
metropolitan links are combined with Clear Channel bandwidth to create what the
bank believes is one of the fastest and most diverse global trading networks in
the world.
Alongside Fortis Clearing’s
local hosting facilities, the FCGN allows its clients to route trading traffic
from their offices or Fortis Clearing’s rack space in one location to a trading
venue or execution platform next door or on the other side of the world.
The FCGN covers Sydney,
Singapore, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Osaka, Frankfurt and London.
