BSO, the global telecoms operator powering the digital age has announced that the firm has officially entered the South American market, marking a significant milestone in the company’s fast-paced international expansion and demonstrating its experience in emerging market connectivity.

BSO focus on serving the fast-moving needs of the finance community, building low latency, high-performance solutions that users can rely on. The firm has announced connecting to Brazil’s data centre B3, the country’s largest liquidity hub and a major financial centre for international traders, banks, market makers, and financial services firms.

In addition to B3, BSO is also establishing its first Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud onramp in Brazil’s Equinix SP4, bolstering its cloud credentials in the southern hemisphere. The company has partnered with EdgeUno and Seaborn for this expansion. Seabras-1 assisted the operator in establishing a fast path from North America to South America.

“This partnership allows companies from 200+ global data centres to connect to and from Latin America on high-availability and low latency routes. It also allows Latin American corporations to connect to the rest of the world through better network performance,” said Mehmet Akcin, CEO of EdgeUno.

Existing BSO customers can now connect to LATAM’s largest data centres, including sites spread across Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Ecuador and Chile. Local companies can use BSO’s global network for data centre connectivity as well as access to internet exchanges and connectivity to cloud service providers.

“We have worked closely in Brazil with the BSO team for several years and are delighted to be taking our relationship even further. Together with EdgeUno, we look forward to helping BSO extend their full range of services into Latin America,” said Seaborn Chief Operating Officer, Andy Bax.

Founded in 2004, BSO’s global network reaches 23 countries with 103 data centre locations. The firm connects all major trading venues and exchanges across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America. The network operator aims to help banks, high-frequency traders (HFTs) and algorithmic traders, exchanges, market data providers, FinTech and the whole finance community build a secure network as their foundation for competitive advantage.
