Spread Networks
Spread Networks is a company founded by Dan Spivey and backed by Jim Barksdale (former CEO of Netscape Communications Corporation) that claims to offer Internet connectivity between Chicago and New York at ultra-low latency (i.e. speeds that are very close to the speed of light), high bandwidth, and high reliability, using dark fiber.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Spread Networks )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Network Map: The Shortest and Straightest Routes Available )〕 Its customers are primarily firms engaged in high-frequency trading, where small reductions in latency are important to the extent that they help one close trades before one's competitors.
==History==
The first cable line, running 827 miles from Chicago (home to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where futures and options are traded) to Carteret, New Jersey (home to the Nasdaq data center), laid at a cost of $300 million USD, was unveiled in June 2010.〔〔 According to a ''Forbes'' article, the idea for the line first came to Dan Spivey in 2007: Spivey contracted with a New York hedge fund to devise a low-latency arbitrage strategy, wherein the fund would search out tiny discrepancies between futures contracts in Chicago and their underlying equities in New York.〔 Although he successfully created the strategy, he was not able to execute it because he was not able to get access to the market's lowest-latency line.〔 He spent some time researching the feasibility of building an ultra-low-latency line, and then looked for people willing to fund it and found Jim Barksdale.〔 Construction was in full swing (but in extreme secrecy, to avoid getting scooped by competitors) by early 2009.〔〔
In October 2012, Spread Networks announced latency improvements, bringing the estimated roundtrip time from 13.1 milliseconds to 12.98 milliseconds. In January 2014, Spread Networks announced that it had opened a point of presence at the NYSE Euronext trading center located in Mahwah, New Jersey.
