Bridgewater Systems Announces Three-Year Contract with Verizon Wireless

By Anil Sharma June 05, 2008
Bridgewater Systems has been awarded a three-year contract with an initial value of approximately CND$30 million to supply Verizon Wireless with a fully integrated subscriber data management and service control solution for its award-winning network. 
 
Bridgewater expects to begin delivering the solution in the fourth quarter of 2008.
 
Bridgewater's integrated solution combines carrier-grade software with third-party hardware and software, and services to provide the performance, capacity, scalability and resiliency needed to support data services delivery.
 
Bridgewater's integrated solution would also provide the service control foundation to support data services delivery across Verizon Wireless' network and at a regional level.
 
By centralizing subscriber data management for a broad set of revenue-generating data services, Verizon Wireless can leverage a unified view of subscribers across its entire network.
 
"This contract deepens our relationship with Verizon Wireless and provides a robust solution to support the delivery of data services across its national network," said Ed Ogonek, president and CEO of Bridgewater Systems, in a statement.
 
"Providing our software as part of an integrated solution represents a growth opportunity for our company, with Verizon Wireless serving as a flagship customer,” Ogonek added.
 
In addition to the integrated solution, Bridgewater will also provide expert systems integration and professional services to assist in securing the reliability and resiliency of the IP network, including network architecture and capacity planning, implementation and support services.
 
Bridgewater Systems develops subscriber-centric service control solutions, including access control and policy management software for fixed, mobile and converged networks.
 
Using Bridgewater solutions, global service providers can offer personalized services and experiences to their subscribers by maintaining a real time policy that controls how subscribers interact with networks, services, and their devices.
 
Vendor-neutral and access network agnostic, Bridgewater's carrier-class solutions help global service providers launch new services faster, target them more accurately, and maximize profits by creating a decision point that brings dynamic subscriber context to controlling and merchandizing the subscriber interaction with IP-based services.
 
Earlier this month, Bridgewater Systems announced its selection as the network access control vendor for Sprint's new nationwide XOHM WiMAX Network. 

Bridgewater is the incumbent supplier of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) services to Sprint's existing CDMA 3G network and will now extend its solution to support XOHM as well.
 
Through the capabilities of the Bridgewater solution, Sprint will be able to provide high performance network access control, and support open network access services such as over the air provisioning of devices, subscribers and on-demand service models, and lawful intercept services.
