Atrium Network, provider of smarter connectivity for the financial community today announced that it is building on its expansion into the Canadian market with low latency connectivity to Pure Trading, a Toronto-based competitive alternative auction market system aimed at attracting latency sensitive traders interested in Canadian exchange-listed securities.
Low latency connectivity will be provided by Atrium Network using the latest dark fibre technology into the heart of the Pure Trading data centre at 100 Wellington Street, Toronto, ensuring participants receive simple, resilient high-speed access to the Canadian financial community. On the 1st of February 2010, Atrium Network underscored their commitment to providing greater choice of access to the Canada market, one of the world's largest trading markets by opening two new PoPs (points of presence) at 100 Wellington Street and 151 Front Street.
