RF Ultra_
Trading at the speed of light_
Through in-house R&D, acquisitions and strategic partnerships, BSO has created the world’s leading ultra low latency connectivity platform between major financial hubs.
OUR SERVICE
How does it work?
RF Ultra is a radio frequency-based connectivity product designed for ultra low latency connectivity. As with RF Express, RF Ultra connects major data centres and financial exchanges across our New Jersey, Chicago and Toronto metro area networks.
RF Ultra provides the market’s lowest latency Layer 1 connectivity between two connections on a bit-by-bit basis. Customers connect directly into the circuit interface for a speed of 1.25Gbit/s. Ethernet framing and frame segregation are not required as any signalling protocol can be used.
On 1Gbps circuits customers can also include RF Secure with their service to provide an alternate back-up fibre path for consistent uptime.

FAQs
What is ultra low latency?
Ultra-low latency refers to the minimal delay or lag experienced in data transmission or processing. It ensures near-instantaneous response times, crucial for real-time applications like online gaming, financial trading, and video conferencing. By reducing the time between data generation and its arrival at the destination, ultra-low latency enhances user experience and system performance. Achieving this requires advanced network technologies, hardware optimisations, and efficient algorithms.
What is ultra low latency in 5g?
Ultra-low latency in 5G refers to the very fast response times within the fifth-generation wireless network. It enables data transmission with almost no delay, which is crucial for real-time applications like augmented reality and industrial automation. With 5G's advanced technologies like edge computing and network slicing, latency is dramatically reduced to a few milliseconds. This ensures an enhanced user experience and unlocks the potential of innovative services and applications that demand the instantaneous exchange of data.
When is 5g ultra low latency recommended?
5G ultra-low latency is recommended for applications and use cases that require real-time responsiveness and near-instantaneous data exchange. It is ideal for scenarios such as augmented and virtual reality experiences, autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, online gaming, and industrial automation. In these contexts, low latency is crucial to ensure seamless and immersive interactions, precise control, and enhanced safety. By leveraging 5G's capabilities, users can experience a significant improvement in performance and reliability for a wide range of innovative and time-sensitive applications.
Why is ultra low latency important in 5G?
Ultra-low latency is critical in 5G due to its impact on real-time responsiveness and user experience. It ensures near-instantaneous data transfer, reducing delays in communication between devices and applications. This is vital for applications like augmented reality, virtual reality, high frequency trading and industrial automation, where split-second decisions and actions are essential. With ultra-low latency, users can enjoy seamless interactions, faster load times, and improved precision, while industries benefit from enhanced productivity and safety. 5G's low latency capabilities pave the way for a new era of innovative services and applications that demand lightning-fast data exchange.
