What makes PicoNet™ different from public internet or standard networks?

PicoNet™ is purpose-built for financial services with dedicated dark fiber, low-latency routes, functional segregation, uncontended bandwidth, and strict maintenance windows. It's not shared with non-trading traffic.

Can I connect to PicoNet™ from my own colocation facility?

Yes, via cross-connect if Pico has a presence in that facility. Otherwise, you can access PicoNet™ remotely via leased lines to the nearest Pico data center.

How does Pico ensure PicoNet™ stays optimized?

We continuously review the telco market for faster routes, monitor performance with Corvil Analytics, and maintain single-platform architecture for rapid capacity scaling and consistent performance.

Can I monitor PicoNet™ performance in real-time?

Yes. IntelliVUE provides interactive, on-demand visibility into PicoNet™ operational state, latency measurements, and service status.
