Ericsson delivers broadband Internet services to Cable & Wireless HKT in Hong Kong; IP backbone routers provide maximum scalability and capacity.Business & Technology Editors STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2000 Today, (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ERICY) Ericsson announced that Cable & Wireless HKT HKT Phuket, Thailand - Phuket (Airport Code) HKT Home Keygen Token , has deployed broadband Internet See broadband. services throughout the region using Ericsson's AXI AXI Automated X-Ray Inspection (electronics) AXI Association Xpertise Inc (Calgary, AB, Canada) AXI Ada to X-Window System Interface 520 IP backbone routers. The routers will handle Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. to and from Cable & Wireless HKT's Powerb@se data centers. With six world-class centers located throughout the region, Powerb@se is currently Hong Kong's largest data center facility in operation. Ericsson's ultra scalable, highly reliable IP backbone routers have allowed Cable & Wireless HKT to dramatically increase the capacity of their existing network and accommodate the rapid increase of Internet users in the region. "We chose Ericsson for the carrier-class capacity and superior performance the AXI 520 brings to our data backbone network A backbone network provides a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.[1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. , as well as their unique ability to provide a full range of local integration and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services ," said Cheng Ka Hang, Executive Vice President, Technology & New Venture Management, Cable & Wireless HKT. "All of these are key factors, critical to helping us meet the current and future demands of Asia's rapid Internet growth." "We are very excited about our AXI 520 being chosen by Cable & Wireless HKT," said Norman Chan, General Manager, Fixed and Cellular Networks Division, Ericsson Hong Kong. "Winning this contract reinforces the fact that Ericsson today provides carrier-class backbone solutions and global services that can meet the exploding growth of Internet traffic now and in the future." Ericsson's AXI 520 IP Backbone Routers provide Cable & Wireless HKT's Powerb@se data centers with wire-speed gigabit performance to connect customer servers to the Internet. With the deployment of these backbone routers, the provider's network system is now scalable to 40 Gbps per router and will be able to achieve a performance level of 40 Mpps (million packets per second). Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in mobility and Internet in creating the new era of Mobile Internet. Ericsson provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications to mobile phones and other communications tools. With more than 100,000 employees in 140 countries, Ericsson simplifies communications for customers all over the world.

Ericsson adds significant network management capabilities to the platforms as well as worldwide integration and support services. Ericsson's relationship with Juniper began in 1997 with an initial equity investment. In March 1999, Ericsson announced an increased investment and a series of strategic agreements, including a co-operative technology agreement. About Ericsson's Packet Backbone Network Ericsson's Packet Backbone Network (PBN PBN Paint By Number PBN Procurement Business Number PBN Pyrolytic Boron Nitride PBN Policy-Based Networking PBN Performance-Based Navigation PBN Progressive Bengali Network PBN Paintball Nation PBN Permanent Background Notices ) is an Internet-class, carrier-class data backbone and a key component to both wireless and wireline operators' transitions to next generation networks. PBN enables operators to offer new or expanded services over an IP infrastructure in an extremely reliable and ultra-scalable configuration. PBN is based on the following hardware platforms from Ericsson: the AXI 580 and AXI 520 IP backbone routers, AXI 540 Edge Aggregation Router and AXD AXD Alexandroupolis, Greece (Airport Code) AXD Auxiliary Drum AXD Active X Document 301 High-Performance ATM Switch. PBN includes a Multiservice Management Suite (MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) An enhanced transmission service that enables graphics, video clips and sound files to be transmitted via cellphones. Developed as part of the 3GPP project, MMS phones are generally backward compatible with SMS and EMS. ) of products that includes in-house developed tools optimized for next generation networks and tools from best-in-class partners to address management issues in four key areas: network provisioning, service provisioning, service and network assurance, customer care and billing. PBN also employs Ericsson's innovative range of robust DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing optical networking products: ERIcsson Optical Networking (ERION).
