STOCKHOLM--(Business Wire)--
Xelerated, the global leader in field-proven Carrier Ethernet ASSP-based

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
