HONG KONG, Jan. 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cisco and Hong Kong
Broadband Network Limited (HKBN), a wholly-owned subsidiary of City
Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL), today announced a
pioneering move in Asia. HKBN, a leading service provider, has
committed to the Cisco(R) CRS-3 Carrier Routing System as the
foundation for its core Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP
NGN) to cope with the surging trend of bandwidth demand and to extend
its network coverage.

According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, annual global IP
traffic will exceed three-quarters of a zettabyte by 2014. Internet
utilization by various forms of video such as TV, video on demand,
Internet video, etc. is increasing and is expected to exceed 91 percent
of global consumer traffic by 2014. To cope with this rapidly growing
demand, HKBN, a forward-thinking service provider, realizes the need
for a core router with strong investment protection to support its
world-class voice, video and Internet services. HKBN believes that,
with the Cisco CRS-3's industry-leading scale, operating efficiency and
superior service features, it can be assured of maintaining its "Speed
Guarantee" to customers, whereby 80 percent steady speed is ensured
amid the escalating Internet demands of businesses and consumers.
