power, algorithms and ultrafast data connectivity are the deciding factors for profits and losses in the high-speed trading
carried out by them.
Until 2012, trade exchanges in Chicago and New York used high-speed fibre networks, which was then replaced by a
microwave-radio link, which transferred chunks of data between the two in 3 milliseconds.
Whilst incredibly fast, many feel that it could go even faster, and it is with this in mind that Anova Technologies is looking to improve the data connectivity even further using direct laser connection. Currently, laser connection is only used to receive
pictures and data from far away ships or devices in outer space.
The company has yet to disclose when such a connection would be ready for use, and it is estimated that it would be able to accelerate data transfer to several nanosecond.
