Zeptonics services brokerages, trading firms and market operators with the world’s fastest and most innovative hardware, software and consulting solutions, all inspired by the trading experiences of the founding team.

Zeptonics has announced two network devices. The first is the ZeptoMux, a 23-to-1 bi-directional multiplexing switch that operates with a fibre-to-fibre latency (including SFP+s) of ~130 nanoseconds, making it the world's fastest 10GbE switching device.

The second is the ZeptoLink, a 50-port layer 1 circuit switch that can electronically create a circuit between any of its ports, forwarding data in around 5 nanoseconds - five one-billionths of a second - about the same time it takes light to travel through 1m (3ft) of optic fibre.

Zeptonics has also designed the world’s fastest trade matching engine, ZeptoMatch, which delivers a ~5 microsecond client experience.

Other devices and solutions on the Zeptonics roadmap include a network interface card, a new firewall designed to protect networks while minimising latency, and risk-protected broker gateways.

The company was founded in Sydney, Australia, by hardware and software engineers who are re-thinking trading technology in order to crush latency at every opportunity.
