Singapore Exchange (SGX) will use BT Radianz for connectivity to its new hubs in Chicago and London.
Customers of the exchange in Chicago and London will be able to access the Asian equity futures market by connecting to BT Radianz at a local, third-party data center.
As the first Asian exchange with hubs in the U.S. and Europe, the move highlights SGXs intention of becoming an internationalized gateway to Asia.
Recently, the exchange also adopted dual-currency listing, allowing companies to be listed simultaneously in two currencies, among them the dollar, the Australian dollar and the Hong Kong dollar.
The London and Chicago hubs will be connected to SGX in July.
The hubs beginning in London and Chicago plus the connectivity alliances we are building with other exchanges and partners will deliver unparalleled access into Asia for international investors. We are delighted that BT will play an integral part in our connectivity initiative, says Muthukrishnan Ramaswami, president of SGX.
