With the approval of CME Group, KVH expands its ultra low-latency network offering for the financial services community to Aurora, IL by adding a new network point of presence (POP) at the new CME Co-Location facility. This new Tokyo-to-Aurora route will be operational on December 22, 2011 and deliver latency below an average estimate of 128 ms, which will be one of the fastest networks between these locations in the market today. CME Group will launch its Co-Location Services comprised of hosting, connectivity and support services on January 29, 2012, at its new, state-of-the-art data center. The new data center will house its trade matching engines for all products traded on the CME GlobexR platform, and provide the lowest latency connection for its customers. KVH launched its first U.S. POP in Chicago in January 2011 and has been expanding the geographic reach of its low-latency network in key financial centers.
