Anova Financial Networks (AFN) has taken a major leap forward in financial connectivity with the launch of the fastest commercially available service from Chicago to London. 

Through a strategic partnership with a leading transatlantic cable provider, Anova is redefining the standard for latency between the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Equinix LD4 in London, a route critical to global markets. This new offering is not just a speed upgrade; it’s a major innovation that simplifies access to world-class trading infrastructure.

By integrating Anova’s high-capacity microwave route from Chicago to New Jersey with a next-generation fiber system crossing the Atlantic, the service offers end-to-end, private bandwidth connectivity optimized for performance and reliability. Designed to eliminate the complexity and cost traditionally required to piece together such a route, the solution also reaches into major liquidity centers like Dublin, Frankfurt, and Bergamo, extending Anova’s footprint across Europe and beyond.

“This partnership is the result of a mutual goal and longstanding effort to bring the financial community the fastest and most practical CME-to-LD4 service,” said Joe Hilt, Chief Revenue Officer at AFN. “We’re delivering a service that balances speed, performance and value in a way the market hasn’t seen before.”
