European and Asian firms wanting to trade the Brazilian markets have had to transit through the US. With the launch of EllaLink, trading strategies in Brazil and South America that were previously uneconomic for international entities have become much more attractive. BSO has partnered with EllaLink at a strategic level to put in place the necessary ultra-low latency connectivity and infrastructure to enable trading firms worldwide to access the Latin American exchange and to capitalise on the opportunities that it offers. These new routes will open up a wide range of possibilities for proprietary trading firms, capital banks, hedge funds and other market participants across multiple asset classes.
EllaLink is an advanced optical platform offering secure high-capacity connectivity on a unique low latency transatlantic route serving the growing needs of the Latin American and European markets. The EllaLink network directly connects Brazil and Europe, linking the major hubs of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza with Lisbon, Madrid, and Marseille. The EllaLink System has been built with coherent technology, initially offering 100Tbps of capacity over four direct fibre pairs between Europe and Brazil. EllaLink is a privately funded and independent company committed to providing products and services on a Carrier Neutral and Open Access basis. Marguerite II, a pan-European equity fund active in the renewables, energy, transport, and digital infrastructure sectors is the main shareholder of EllaLink.
