Light beams mounted on the tops of buildings<br />
could soon carry messages about rising and falling prices<br />
A form of rapid-fire communication previously only available to the military is now<br />
coming to the financial world. Lasers perched atop high-rise buildings will next month<br />
allow the New York Stock Exchange’s data centre in Mahwah, NJ to communicate with<br />
NASDAQ‘s data center in Carteret, NJ. Though these two data centers are only 35 miles<br />
apart, the light will allow them to communicate with unprecedented speed. It is the<br />
culmination of a quest for instantaneous trading that first utilised custom-built fiber-optic<br />
cables, then microwave and later millimetre-wave transmissions, and the speed at which<br />
traders’ orders are transmitted is rapidly approaching the speed of light. The technology<br />
is expected to spread to the Stock Exchange’s trading clients as well, which are currently<br />
offered a system that uses microwaves.<br />
