4. KVH Plug & Trade™:
Simplifying Trading Infrastructure in Asia
In Asia Pacific, each market structure has different regulatory frameworks, diverse corporate rules, and unique trading
behaviors, as well as cultural and language barriers. These issues can be easily underestimated and are often the key
causes of why financial market participants experience more challenges in setting up entry to the Asia Pacific liquidity
pools than they do in North America or Europe.
To succeed in this endeavor and capitalize on the opportunities in Asia Pacific, market participants need innovative
service providers, brokers, crossing networks, and more. KVH is one of the most innovative ICT providers making this
task easier with its flagship Plug and Trade™ service offering.
The KVH Plug & Trade™ solutions stack provides:

and running. This service is offered in all exchange colocation and proximity data centers.
