QuantHouse to Tap KVH Infrastructure for Asia Data Connectivity

QuantHouse, the real-time data subsidiary of S&P Capital IQ, will leverage Japanese network and co-location provider KVH's infrastructure to provide its clients with access to all major markets in Asia, enabling QuantHouse to position itself as an alternative provider of low-latency market data to local clients and offer faster aggregation of market data from Asian markets, officials say.

The deal is the latest in a string of initiatives by QuantHouse to support its expansion into the Asia-Pacific region -- including last week's announcement of a new office in Singapore to support clients in the region.
