Quincy Data Adds NASDAQ ETFs and Extends Latency Advantage on Carteret-Aurora route to 4.11 milliseconds
Quincy Also Launches NJ Local Wireless Market Data Service
Quincy Data, LLC (www.quincy-data.com) has added highly liquid ETFs to its industry-leading Quincy Extreme Data (“QED”) service. QED now delivers the most liquid equity ETFs sourced from NASDAQ’s Carteret, NJ data center to CME Group’s data center located in Aurora, IL in only 4.11 milliseconds rack-to-rack, a latency believed to shatter another industry record. ETF data is also available locally over Quincy’s NJ metro wireless service, currently connecting Carteret and Secaucus: with Weehawken and Mahwah forthcoming.
“We are extremely pleased to add ‘westbound’ market data to our six month old ‘eastbound’ CME Group offering at what we believe is the lowest latency available,” says Stéphane TyÄ, Quincy’s Co-Founder. “Highly liquid ETF data and microwave speed create a powerful tool for our clients to use in their hedging and trading strategies. Risk managers and traders know that fast, reliable market data is essential to their success. Quincy strives to exceed expectations for data, speed, service and reliability. With no installation charges, 3 month subscriptions, a small company discount, and an à la carte data offering, QED is a game-changer for firms with or without the means to acquire their own microwave channels.”
“You cannot find excess latency in our data, or in our rollout!” remarks Jim Considine, Quincy’s Director of Business Development and Strategy. “We implemented full FPGA feed handlers and hot failover this quarter, while extending the QED service to Carteret, Cermak and Slough data centers. The complete NJ rollout continues apace. The addition of ETF market data is an important milestone in our mission to provide trading desks large and small with the best market data solution for latency sensitive trading and risk management. Quincy’s robust infrastructure – with best-in-class elements at every step and an expanding set of data sources -- creates a compelling offering to financial firms where they need it most and on terms that will please the back office as much as the front office.”
In addition to ETF data, Quincy provides CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX data in CME Group’s Aurora data center and Cermak located in downtown Chicago; Secaucus NY4 and Carteret in NJ; and Slough in London.
Quincy delivers the lowest known latencies for any commercial service, including those in production and known to be in development. QED subscribers have enjoyed lowest known latency for CME, CBOT NYMEX and COMEX data in multiple NJ colocation centers since the service went live in December 2012.
Additional information about the QED Service, including latencies and pricing, is available at www.quincy-data.com.

OAKLAND, Calif., April 23, 2014 Quincy Data, LLC announced that its Quincy Extreme Data service is distributing Aurora-sourced data to London’s Slough-LD4 data center in 35.39 milliseconds (ms) and to Frankfurt’s FR2 data center in 37.79 ms. Both routes offer the lowest known latency for any commercially available service and will receive substantial upgrades over the next several months to ensure that the QED service remains the fastest.
“Quincy’s European expansion is our next phase in delivering a market data service that is fast, fair and flexible,” says co-founder Stephane Tyc. "At last, the lowest latency market data can be bought as a service, lowering barriers to entry and fostering competition."
Quincy’s announcement includes plans for further expansion of its European service, adding more London POPs over the next two months. Soon Quincy will distribute select data from Eurex to London, NJ and Illinois at what the company believes are lowest commercially available latencies. Quincy Data currently distributes market data at the lowest known latency in the US, along the key route connecting Illinois and New Jersey and another connecting Aurora, IL with 350 E. Cermak in Chicago.
“We are committed to supporting fair and robust markets by making the fastest data widely obtainable,” says Jim Considine, Quincy’s Chief Operating Officer. “On route after route, Quincy offers the deepest dataset, broadest footprint and fastest delivery. We are pleased to offer to clients more and more data in more and more trading centers around the world.”
Quincy Data is the leading provider of extremely low latency market data and is accelerating its rollout of additional US and European exchange data. For this European expansion, Quincy capitalizes on wireless bandwidth from an unaffiliated telecom provider. The initial service bests all comers, and after the noted upgrades, will operate within 10µs of the provider’s best internal speed and likely the best end-to-end speed achieved by any combination of private and commercial routes.
Market data delivered over microwave is moving rapidly beyond early adopters into the mainstream. The latency advantage of microwave over fiber is a physical constant, varying only by the length of the route. However, pure latency is not the most compelling driver. The primary motivation for adoption of microwave market data today is that risk management decision cycles are smaller than the fiber-to-microwave latency differential.
“When risk management algorithms are faster than the few milliseconds' edge of microwave over fiber, our data service becomes an obvious choice. With fiber, you base your decisions on stale data,” says Tyc. “This very practical and powerful arithmetic is driving mainstream adoption of the Quincy Extreme Data service.”
The momentum toward the mainstream has changed the competitive landscape of microwave market data. “Data consumers have shifted their focus from competing on speed to partnering on speed,” says Considine. “As an independent provider dedicated to a level playing field, Quincy aims to be the partner of choice.”
All latency figures quoted are one-way.

Additional European exchange sources as well as more UK POPS will be added to the QED service before year-end.
“Eurex Order by Order is the fourth new data feed added to the QED service recently,” notes Tyc. “We will continue to expand our global offering of key market data this year.
