Exchange Wireless Service
Exchange Wireless Service is a very low latency radio link operating between London Stock Exchange Group’s data centre located in the City of London and Equinix Slough facility.
The service utilises the latest millimetre-wave technology and offers clients the opportunity to secure between 100Mbps to 1Gbps channel to send data between the two key strategic locations.
What is millimetre-wave?
Millimetre-wave is a radio wave that uses directional line-of-sight repeaters located on towers and appropriate building rooftops between the two locations to transmit and receive data. Millimetre-waves operate at a much higher frequency and allow greater bandwidth than microwave services.
