Specifically, Avelacom has enabled a direct connection to nuam – the merger of Santiago, Lima and Colombia stock exchanges – through the creation a physical point of presence (PoP) at the Equinix ST1 data centre, based in Santiago.
Through this, the integration is expected to provide institutional clients across the world with real-time market data access, as well as order routing through ultra-low latency connectivity paths with built-in redundancy.
The development also expands the firm’s footprint in Latin America, underscoring ongoing efforts to form a regional infrastructure layer connecting Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
“Latin America is moving from fragmented local markets to a region where cross-border trading strategies increasingly matter,” said Lorenz Voss, managing director of Avelacom.
“This new connection to nuam’s infrastructure extends Avelacom’s low latency infrastructure across Chile, Colombia, and Peru, complementing our established presence in Brazil and Argentina. We see nuam as a key platform for institutional clients that require predictable performance, control, and reliability to operate effectively across the region.”
Moreover, the connectivity is expected to bring benefits both in Latin America, as well as globally, by enabling efficient regional cross-market trading, as well as with major financial hubs in North America, Europe and Asia.

“This expansion of connectivity enables us to continue expanding the range of opportunities available to investors seeking exposure to Latin American markets,” said Andrés Araya Falcone, chief technology officer at nuam.
“The availability of ultra-low latency connectivity across Chile, Colombia, and Peru represents another meaningful step in strengthening an ecosystem capable of attracting a broader and more diverse set of market participants. For nuam, having this type of direct connection reinforces our long-term vision of a more competitive, deeper, and globally integrated Andean market.”
