Connectivity and infrastructure provider Avelacom has launched a new direct low-latency route, running between Bangkok and Tokyo.
The new connection delivers less than 65ms round-trip delay (RTD) and is optimised through enhancements to the firm’s terrestrial fiber segment.
Specifically, the route is aimed at supporting proprietary trading firms, institutional trading desks and regional banks operating across global equity and derivatives markets.
Aleksey Larichev, chief executive of Avelacom, said: “For us, network expansion is not limited to deploying additional points of presence (PoP). The underlying route architecture itself remains equally important.
“We continuously optimise long-distance terrestrial and submarine network segments to achieve the most direct paths and lowest possible latency between markets. Bangkok to Tokyo is another example of how physical network optimisation can establish new performance benchmarks for regional and global trading connectivity.”

The offering also bolsters Avelacom’s existing APAC network infrastructure, and supports the development of Bangkok’s positioning as a regional financial and trading hub.
Additionally, the route includes use cases such as low latency connectivity between the Thailand Futures Exchange and the CME derivatives markets.
The news follows a further Japan-related expansion for Avelacom, and in April 2026, the firm launched a new PoP in AWS Stockholm, set to connect Tokyo and London cloud infrastructure.
The route is set to directly benefit leading crypto-native prediction market platforms, by allowing Avelacom users to enhance their connectivity to these platforms.
