Aug.3- Ericsson announced that Cable & Wireless HKT, has deployed broadband Internet services throughout the region using Ericsson's AXI 520 IP backbone routers. The routers will handle Internet traffic 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.
