STOCKHOLM--(Business Wire)--
Xelerated, the global leader in field-proven Carrier Ethernet and Unified Fiber
Access ASSP-based chipsets, was recognized by the Global Semiconductor Alliance
(GSA) as a winner of the Outstanding Financial Performance by a Private
Semiconductor Company. Recognized for quadrupling its revenue over eight
consecutive quarters, this achievement solidifies Xelerated`s leadership
position in the Carrier Ethernet and unified fiber access markets.

"We are very proud of our growth and strong financial success to date, and we
feel privileged to be recognized by the Global Semiconductor Alliance with this
