AMSTERDAM, May 17, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Bridgewater to Power Policy-Enabled Service Control Across 4G LTE
Network
Bridgewater Systems (TSX: BWC), the leader in intelligent broadband
controls, today announced that a leading mobile operator serving 35 states in
the U.S. has selected the Bridgewater Home Subscriber Server (
http://www.bridgewatersystems.com/Home-Subscriber-Server.aspx) (HSS) for its
LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) deployment. A Bridgewater customer since 2005,

application policy solutions in its existing 3G network. With this new
implementation, Bridgewater extends its footprint to support the new 4G
network.
News
- This service provider will deploy the Bridgewater HSS to manage LTE
service control functions, such as authentication and authorization, which
ensure secure subscriber access to LTE data services. As part of this
deployment, the HSS will integrate with the existing subscriber data
management system using open, standards-based interfaces.
- With Bridgewater's LTE solution, this service provider can:
- Deploy a best-of-breed HSS solution that features a robust policy
engine for rich authentication and authorization services in the LTE Evolved
Packet Core;
- Leverage Bridgewater's broad interoperability to support a multi-vendor
LTE implementation that spans numerous network elements and legacy databases;
- Protect its investment in the company's subscriber data management
system;
- Support future IMS services with a common HSS platform serving LTE
Evolved Packet Core and next generation IP services.
- The Bridgewater(R) Home Subscriber Server (HSS) is the master
repository in the LTE Evolved Packet Core that contains subscriber and device
profile and state information, and supports authentication, authorization and
mobility management functions in LTE. The Bridgewater HSS supports broad
multi-vendor interoperability using standards-based interfaces with all major
network equipment vendors. Fully compliant with 3GPP Release 8 standards,
with interfaces and performance requirements designed and tested for
multi-vendor environments, it supports standardized LTE and IMS interfaces.
