Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has partnered with Go West, a consortium of leading global trading firms collaborating to create efficient access to global financial markets, to offer ultra-low latency wireless connectivity between markets in Chicago and Tokyo.

When the Go West service is launched in the fourth quarter of 2017, ICE’s Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI) wireless networks will offer the most extensive ultra-low latency network connectivity solutions among the New York, Chicago, Toronto and Tokyo metro areas.
 
“We’re excited to add Go West’s key Chicago to Tokyo route to our growing range of connectivity options,” says Jonathan Reeve (pictured), Global Head of Connectivity and Consolidated Feeds at ICE Data Services. “As the demand for data capacity, speed and security increases, Go West extends our network’s geographical reach and offers a new alternative for customers that require ultra-low latency connectivity between North American and Asian markets.”
