Colt Technology Services Expands into Latin America

Colt Technology Services, a global network provider, announced that it is expanding its capital markets offering into Latin America. The expansion will allow customers from the US, Europe, and APAC access to B3, one of the world’s largest financial market infrastructure companies and the largest in the region, via Colt PrizmNet.

Colt PrizmNet is a global financial extranet that offers deterministic low latencies for delivering data, software, content and financial services worldwide to firms in the US, Europe and APAC.

By continuing to strengthen its coverage in the Americas, Colt is providing global capital market data vendors and trading firms with simpler, more cost-effective access to critical venues in the region.

This expansion makes Colt one of the first financial extranet providers to offer access to B3 from all of its 30+ Global PrizmNet PoPs and exchange colocation venues and to on net clients across its global capital markets ecosystem of 160+ exchanges, venues and service providers, and 10,000+ participants.

“The financial services industry in Latin America has undergone a rapid digital transformation, with significant investment in FinTech and the relevant architecture,”Colt’s Segment Director, Capital Markets & Asia, Matthew Reinholds, said.

“As these markets continue to grow, demand for connectivity to key market venues has risen, along with the need for reliable low latency access to market data and trading – and, that’s exactly what we’re delivering with our expansion of Colt PrizmNet into the region and access to B3,”Matthew Reinholds added.
