New York-based Strike Technologies Builds Network ultra-fast microwave radio transmitters that will link the largest financial centers in the world. Superfast Pursuit data in the finance industry has been going on for several years, and according to According to insiders, some firms are currently actively experimenting with lasers and high-altitude balloons.
Strike Technologies, with academics in its ranks, so the former American and Israeli military engineers, hoisted 1.8-meter plate on an 80-meter tower towering over Nasdaq Stock Market in Carterier, New Jersey, near New York
Thanks to a series of such microwave towers, they manage to transmit financial information on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange located 1175 kilometers in Aurora, Illinois, for 4.13 milliseconds – or at about 95 percent theoretical speed of light, company claims.

Apologists for this technology say that it will allow everyone investors of the world have equal conditions. If all are retail brokers, public pension funds, hedge funds – will be simultaneously find out where the stock and futures markets have moved, the companies with the most deep pockets will no longer necessarily have shopping advantage, they say.

Although microwave signals were still used in military radars during the Second World War, application in everyday life they found only in the last decade. Home entertainment complexes, collision avoidance systems in cars, and cellular Networks use similar types of radio signals.
However, this system has its drawback – bad weather may disrupt microwave transmissions, although operators may overcome the situation by amplifying your signal.
