Avelacom unveils new latency routes connecting to South Korea

The expanded offering will allow for low latency fiber routes through Seoul – Hong Kong and Seoul – Singapore.

Avelacom has expanded its low latency connectivity options with two new fiber routes set to complement the fastest-fiver Seoul – Tokyo route.

The service portfolio now includes: Seoul – Hong Kong and Seoul – Singapore. In Seoul, the routes terminate at the KINX Gasan data centre, specifically chosen to provide direct access to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) North-east region.

Aleksey Larichev, chief executive of Avelacom, highlighted the importance of Seoul as a key trading hub and central point for connectivity, asserting that “with the rise of cloud adoption, [we’re] seeing a surge in Korean market participants, including both exchanges and trading firms, and mainly in digital assets.”

The expansion supports Avelacom’s recently launched and proprietary Seoul – Tokyo route. All the sites in the offering are fully interconnected, allowing for direct connectivity between any two.

Avelacom also confirmed that all new routes are ready for service and have guaranteed latencies up to microseconds as well as a 99.9% network uptime.
