 firms are gaining new knowledge about the latency (1) The time between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. Data latency may refer to the time between a query and the results arriving at the screen or the time between initiating a transaction that modifies one or more databases and its completion.  of their network connections. Historically, Electronic Trading firms have relied on their Service Provider to be the best source of data for their Fiber Network options. Electronic Trading firms are now finding it better to also partner with an integrator to get that type of information.

 Services has become the leader in the telecom knowledge based integration space. Single Carrier high capacity circuits alone do not translate directly into high performance. In fiber networks, the distance data travels over the fiber causes latency. An end-to-end distance advantage of only 100Km (62 miles) in the fiber connection is enough to produce a millisecond One thousandth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond.

Brad O'Brien, Vice President of Operations for CFN, added: "We are really excited to be partnering with many clients in the Electronic Trading field as we continue to drive value to their business models providing custom circuit route solutions that reduce execution mileage and latency. Our clients continue to identify competitive advantages through their ability to leverage CFN's telecom design and implementation expertise, driven by our FiberSource[R] knowledgebased telecom platform. Additionally, our clients are driving faster and more economical results on their network planning and implementation while they free up time to focus on their core competencies A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990):
  1. It provides customer benefits
  2. It is hard for competitors to imitate
  3. It can be leveraged widely to many products and markets.

CFN Services specializes in the ability to design and implement the lowest latency fiber network available by identifying and utilizing optimal spans from all available carriers. This translates into a networking performance advantage for Electronic Trading Firms.

CFN Services with their FiberSource[R] software platform, is able to access over 500 carrier networks globally. CFN Services has the ability to interconnect (1) To attach one device to another.

 multiple carrier spans to provide the lowest mileage and least latency between multiple points. Many Electronic Trading firms are learning that their current routes are carrying unneeded mileage due to the routing. CFN Services provides the Electronic Trading firms with a single point of contact while allowing them to still be on diverse networks.

Electronic Trading Firms now have the ability to reduce Fiber Optic mileage, decrease latency and have confidence that their network decisions were made with the knowledge of all existing options.

For additional information on High Performance - Low Latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as  Networking, contact info@cfnservices.com or visit www.cfnservices.com.
