Build your end-to-end, low-latency trading network infrastructure with nxLink
nxLink is a suite of next-generation network products designed to address performance problems such as latency, link management and bandwidth optimization. Leveraging FPGA technology, nxLink makes networks smarter by performing high level processing while sustaining wire-speed and offering nanosecond scale latency.
nxLink is not only designed for telecommunication operators and wireless network service providers, but also caters to investment banks and market data providers who operate their own networks and wish to improve the stability and performance of their infrastructure.
