White paper: The Need for Speed: Best Practices for Building Ultra-Low Latency Microwave Networks.
This paper will show that to achieve the lowest end-to-end latency with the highest possible reliability and network stability not only requires a microwave platform that supports cutting edge low latency performance, but also must be combined with the experience and expertise necessary to design, deploy, support and operate an microwave transmission network.

Aviat is the industry leader in low latency microwave solutions
In High Frequency Trading (HFT) applications where computers can make millions of decisions in fractions of a second, receiving data even a single millisecond sooner can equate to a distinct advantage and generate significant profits. According to Information Week Magazine: “A one (1) millisecond advantage in trading applications can be worth $100 million a year to a major brokerage firm”.

Faster propagation. Microwave signals travel through the air about 50% faster than light through optical fiber.
Straighter routes. Microwave networks have shorter routes, reducing the total network distance and consequently further improving latency.
In today’s ultra-competitive High Frequency Trading markets, speed is everything, and wireless technologies, and specifically microwave networking, have recently been recognized as a faster alternative to optical transport for ultra-low latency financial applications.
