Venue Access

Comprehensive global connectivity to liquidity using PicoNet™

More liquidity flows through connectivity managed by Pico than any other managed service provider.

Pico provides low latency connectivity for access to over 200 global market venues. Execute proprietary business or client orders on all the major exchanges, dark pools, and MTFs over our ultra- low latency proprietary network with options for 1Gbps, 10Gbps, or 40Gbps handoffs. We offer cost-effective shared connectivity or dedicated connectivity options. Latency-sensitive clients can also connect from the same colocation facility for low-latency access either from their own racks or using Pico-managed racks and infrastructure. Clients requiring connectivity from remote locations can use PicoNet, using the fastest leased line connections between Pico’s colocation sites to ensure your flow reaches a remote matching engine with the lowest latency possible.

Tailored Connectivity

The standard Venue Access services can be enhanced using proprietary risk systems, wireless connectivity, FPGA and other advanced technologies.

This can be combined with our market-leading analytics capabilities to help measure performance, and the support of our 24/7 service operations and delivery teams.

Market Connectivity Made Simple

Pico has a global team of venue experts who manage relationships, conduct reporting, and liaise with venue technical teams to simplify our customer’s operations.

Flexible Venue Connectivity for All Scenarios

Mutualized Connectivity

High capacity, resilient network uplinks from an exchange or trading venue, shared across multiple customers, managed and monitored by Pico for a fraction of the cost a dedicated connection. Make it your primary connection to the market or use it as a cost effective backup to your own dedicated connection.

Dedicated Connectivity

Your own private dedicated connection from a Venue but still managed and monitored by Pico to provide the lowest latency possible.

Colocated Access

Eliminate WAN latency and trade locally from the exchange colocation facility using Pico’s Venue Connectivity, either from Pico managed infrastructure or your own rack.

Risk management

Centralize your risk management infrastructure by using PicoNet to aggregate drop-copy services from multiple different trading venues into the location of your choice.

Remote Order Routing

Use PicoNet’s global reach to execute your order routing strategy from a central location using our Venue Connectivity services.

Disaster Recovery

Combine PicoNet and our mutualized Venue Connectivity to provide a cost effective Disaster Recovery solution for remote market access in the event of a problem at the exchange colo.

We have access to over 200 global market venues via PicoNet, our private ultra low- latency proprietary network mesh. PicoNet is extremely flat, minimizing hops and latency wherever possible. Ultra-resilient and fault- tolerant, it provides the fastest path connections between on-net co-location sites.
