From expertise gaps to rising performance expectations, the obstacles are real, and costly.
No internal FPGA expertise to build on
Most firms rely on traditional software-based systems and haven’t built an FPGA team. Recruiting FPGA designers, especially those with Fintech or latency-critical experience, is extremely difficult, expensive, and can take a very long time.
Long development cycles and missed market opportunities
Without an experienced FPGA engineering team, migration can take 12–24 months. During that time, competitors already using FPGA acceleration continue improving execution speed, reducing jitter, and capturing market share.
Keeping pace with an ever-moving performance baseline
Trading firms must constantly invest time, engineering resources, and capital to reduce latency, control jitter, and optimize execution pipelines, while competitors push the performance baseline forward. Without specialized FPGA expertise and reusable ultra-low latency building blocks, the cost and complexity of staying competitive can quickly outweigh the gains.
High cost and risk of building everything internally
Buying an FPGA platform or framework is not enough; integration and customization still require deep RTL, hardware, verification, and software skills.
Deploy low-latency FPGA acceleration solutions without building a multi-million-dollar engineering team; we handle design, integration, and optimization. Financial institutions choose Orthogone because we remove the complexity, risk, and time associated with FPGA adoption. We combine proven ultra-low-latency technology, deep multidisciplinary expertise, and a scalable engineering team to help clients move from concept to deployment faster and more confidently.
Orthogone accelerates FPGA adoption by giving fintech teams a ready foundation built on our ULL FPGA Framework and proven ultra-low-latency IP cores. Instead of reinventing core components, firms benefit from pre validated blocks designed for high-speed market data and tick-to-trade workloads.
We combine FPGA, hardware, and software expertise to help financial institutions transition from software-only systems to hybrid or full-FPGA architectures. Every stage is handled by engineers who understand ultra-low latency fintech workloads and deterministic design.
With 100+ FPGA and software engineers, Orthogone can support multiple parallel fintech projects using a fully dedicated team. No bottlenecks, no delays — capacity that scales with your ambitions.
Using battle-tested IP cores and an optimized FPGA framework, we help firms achieve repeatable ultra-low-latency behavior and consistent timing closure. Trading pipelines stay predictable, stable, and jitter-free under real market conditions.
Orthogone operates under strict NDA, IP protection, and secure-cell delivery models. With stable teams and segregated environments, sensitive algorithms and proprietary architecture remain fully protected throughout the FPGA adoption lifecycle.
Clients avoid the cost and delay of building a multimillion-dollar FPGA team. By leveraging our ULL FPGA Framework, reusable IP cores, R&D professional services, and integration expertise, firms accelerate their roadmap by months and reduce overall development cost.
From early adoption to production rollouts, optimization, and training, we stay aligned with your fintech infrastructure goals. Whether integrating new AMD cards or extending accelerators, you always have experts ready to support the next step.
When you partner with Orthogone, you’re not just adopting FPGA; you’re adopting a faster, safer, more scalable way to build the next generation of your trading systems.
To help financial institutions transition quickly and with lower risk, Orthogone leverages a long-standing collaboration with AMD Adaptive Computing (Xilinx), the industry leader in FPGA acceleration for low-latency workloads.
Orthogone’s Ultra-Low-Latency (ULL) FPGA Framework is fully ported and validated on multiple AMD Alveo cards, including the UL3524, UL3422, x3522pv, and V80LL platforms. These cards are designed specifically for high-frequency trading, market data processing, and real-time financial analytics. By providing ready-to-deploy reference designs, verified IP core integrations, and complete software/driver support, we drastically shorten the adoption curve for trading firms that need immediate performance gains.
Orthogone and AMD work closely to demonstrate the real-world performance benefits of FPGA acceleration, from predictable ultra-low-latency in tick-to-trade pipelines to improved throughput and determinism in market data and pre-trade risk systems. This collaboration helps position FPGA acceleration as a mainstream, deployable technology for institutions that have historically relied on software-only architectures.
By combining AMD’s HFT-optimized Alveo hardware with Orthogone’s FPGA, hardware, and software engineering expertise, fintech institutions gain a faster and lower-risk path to FPGA adoption with fully optimized hardware–IP–software integration. Clients benefit from immediate acceleration on AMD cards, direct access to specialists who understand low latency fintech workloads, and a clear roadmap for scaling FPGA acceleration across their trading stack. Together, AMD and Orthogone remove traditional barriers—limited expertise, long development cycles, and high integration costs—enabling firms to transition confidently to deterministic, hardware-accelerated architectures.
This partnership expands visibility and market reach for both organizations, with Orthogone driving rapid FPGA adoption through turnkey engineering, reusable IP cores, and proven integration workflows, while AMD gains a trusted delivery partner supporting deployments across the USA, Europe, and APAC. For financial institutions, this translates into a faster, safer, and more predictable transition to FPGA-accelerated trading systems.
