The business benefits of a Geo Metro London fibre network
The financial sector has some of the most demanding data network performance requirements. Geo understands and addresses these needs using its secure Tradenet network routed through the London sewers:
Consistent and ultralow latency
Today’s algorithmic trading demands unprecedented speed to maximise the advantages of arbitrage between platforms. We calculate actual latency prior to installation and guarantee the same low latency at all times.
Proximity to trading centres
New rules have opened up stock trading to Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF), changing the landscape. We can provide direct access to these new venues. And since the sewer system is ubiquitous throughout the capital, connecting in is easy. Chances are your building is already on site, sitting above our pipeline.
Reliable and secure
Most London networks lie just below the road surface, vulnerable to maintenance work and other disruptions. Our fibre network is installed deep underground in London’s sewer system, away from other utilities.
Unlimited bandwidth
Since you don’t share your network with anyone else, there’s absolutely no restriction on bandwidth usage and no limit on transactions. Geo is perfectly scalable – simply increase bandwidth whenever you need.
Faster network implementation at lower costs
With tunnels already in place installation costs are much lower. Requiring minimal digging, we avoid the administrative delays of local authorities. So you could be on the fastest network in London sooner than you think. Additionally, our unique long-lease pricing structure delivers lower operating expenditure than other providers.
Servicing the financial sector - why choose Geo?
Geo is ideally positioned to support the UK finance sector’s demanding requirements for low latency, high security, diversity and bandwidth.
We have been working closely with a number of leading financial institutions to design and deploy low-latency fibre networks. In the process, we’ve developed solutions to storage, backup and disaster recovery issues for most of the data centres in the South-East of England.
