Trading Landscape and Geography


LSEG has its primary data centre geographically equidistant between the Equinixfacility in Slough and NYSE Euronext in Basildon providing excellent average latency across venues.


Exchange Hosting Market Access

Hosting a Financial Community


Typical usage models used within our facility:

• Clients operating decision making systems within our co-lo - quick decisions using lowest

latency market data feeds for passive and aggressive market strategies

• Clients deploying strategies that seek opportunities between markets – using our central

location to gain good average latency benefits between other venues

• Clients including Exchange Data in mesh or backbone connectivity – bringing own fibres

into the Exchange Hosting facility

Exchange Hosting – growing financial community/hub in London:

• Broad mix of Proprietary Firms (Members and Non-Members), Prime Brokers, Service

Providers and Vendors

• Prime Brokers and Non-Members

Well established financial services community served by numerous brokers

Prime Brokers provide space within their racks for their clients, via cross connects within

the Co-lo space or routed from outside our facility

Growing community of users able to connect to one another via short cross connects

Exchange Wireless


Provides millimetre wave wireless connectivity between LSE City of London datacentre and

the Equinix data centre in Slough, significantly reducing latency between these key locations.

• Optimised path with the network deviating only 3% from the geodesic straight line between the

locations enabling data transmission to be up to 40% quicker than traditional low latency fibre routes.

• Network offering a shared bandwidth service with a total capacity of 1Gb delivered through the use of

millimetre wave technology – more bandwidth available for trading clients enabling greater flexibility and

transmission of data (including raw market data sets).

• Service utilises numerous repeater stations between the two end locations, with an average distance

between each repeater of less than 3 miles. Anticipated that clients will retain fibre connectivity for

resiliency.

• Signal strengths improved by installing additional links and reducing the distance between each

repeater, to reduce the impact of rain.
