CME Group offers customers access to its network from a set of Production Connectivity Options that enable reliable, robust, and cost-efficient access. The content and links on this topic provide technical connectivity information for customers to connect to CME Group, BrokerTec and/or EBS or make changes to their existing connectivity.

CME Group’s offerings, GLink, EConnect, LNet, and CME Globex Hub, can be entitled to route to BrokerTec or EBS platforms in Secaucus, Slough and Tokyo, as well as the CME Globex Platform in Aurora. Each market has its own network connection.

For example, a customer’s EConnect service from 111 8th Ave and 165 Halsey can be configured to access CME Globex in Aurora or BrokerTec markets in Secaucus or Slough or EBS in Secaucus, Slough, and Toyko, but only one market per connection.
