Stockholm, Sweden, July 13, 2009 - Xelerated, the global leader in field-proven Carrier Ethernet ASSP-based chipsets, today announced it was named a finalist in the Best New Product or Service - Computer Hardware category of The 2009 International Business Awards. Xelerated earned finalist honors for its HX family of network processors and AX family of programmable ethernet switches for the Carrier Ethernet and unified access markets, respectively.
The HX offers the low cost and power efficiency of custom-designed ASICs while bringing the network processor advantages of reduced time to market and value differentiation through software. The AX is the first line of devices to provide network equipment vendors (NEVs) and carriers with a unified Ethernet-based FTTx access solution for Active Ethernet, EPON, GPON, 10G PON, LTE and WiMAX using a single design. These highly-flexible solutions enable NEVs and carriers to manage bandwidth-intensive applications, introduce new services and adapt to new standards and requirements.

"Our HX and AX product lines accelerate return-on-investment and offer the highest flexibility solutions at the lowest cost. This honor further supports our leading position in the Carrier Ethernet and unified access markets."
