Avelacom unveils sub-65ms Bangkok-Tokyo trading route

Avelacom has launched a direct Bangkok-Tokyo link that delivers under 65 milliseconds round-trip latency after optimizing the terrestrial fiber segment between Thailand and Japan. The route is intended to connect the Thailand Futures Exchange with CME derivatives markets for market data and order execution.

The link was implemented by shortening signal paths and refining long-distance terrestrial fiber between Bangkok and Tokyo. The company describes the connection as a lower-latency benchmark for Bangkok-Tokyo connectivity and adds it expands its APAC network infrastructure.

The service targets proprietary trading firms, institutional trading desks and regional banks that require predictable, low-latency links for equities, FX, commodity and derivatives trading. One primary use is access between the Thailand Futures Exchange and CME venues for gold and foreign-exchange market data and trading.

In a statement, Avelacom CEO Aleksey Larichev commented: “For us, network expansion is not limited to deploying additional points of presence. The underlying route architecture itself remains equally important. We continuously optimize long-distance terrestrial and submarine network segments to achieve the most direct paths and lowest possible latency between markets. Bangkok-Tokyo is another example of how physical network optimization can establish new performance benchmarks for regional and global trading connectivity.”

The Bangkok-Tokyo route complements Avelacom’s global low-latency network that connects traditional and digital-asset trading venues across Europe, North America, APAC and the Middle East. Market participants in Bangkok and the region are seeking links that reduce round-trip delays and improve the reliability of market data feeds and order execution.
