OTTAWA, Canada, September 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Bridgewater Solution to Support Mobile WiMAX Services in 2 Russian 
Cities



Bridgewater Systems (TSX: BWC) today announced that it is providing 
Scartel LLC, with a WiMAX service control solution to support advanced IP 
services being offered over a Mobile WiMAX network in Moscow and St. 
Petersburg. Scartel will deliver mobile Internet access with speeds of up 
to 10 MB per second under the brand name Yota. By the end of 2008, Scartel 
plans to ensure full coverage of these cities and some adjacent areas in 
the region, with a total population of more than 20 million.

The Bridgewater service control solution will enable Scartel to 
support high performance subscriber management functions such as 
authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) services, and provide a 
common platform to accelerate the launch of data services over their WiMAX 
network.

"We selected Bridgewater Systems because they provide a vendor-neutral 
solution that integrates easily with our existing WiMAX IP infrastructure," 
said Dennis Sverdlov, chief executive officer of Scartel. "They also bring 
extensive experience in Mobile WiMAX from their numerous engagements with 
major service providers and broad interoperability with a range of network 
equipment vendor types."

Bridgewater is providing Scartel with an advanced WiMAX service 
control solution that includes a common subscriber data management solution 
to enable a unified view of subscribers, and accelerate time to market for 
new services. The solution features a powerful policy and profile engine 
that allows Scartel to control and manage subscriber access to advanced and 
differentiated services on a per-subscriber basis. Compliant with the WiMAX 
Forum's NWG Stage 3 specification, the Bridgewater(TM) AAA Service 
Controller provides extensive support for Mobile WiMAX often not available 
in legacy AAA servers, such as support for multiple EAP methods, dual 
RADIUS/DIAMETER protocol support, device and subscriber authentication, as 
well as mobile IP support. The solution also offers open extensible 
interfaces, which simplifies integration and enables seamless collaboration 
with other systems within Scartel's network environment.

"Russia is the leading WiMAX market in Europe and Scartel is in a 
unique position as it already holds a large number of WiMAX licenses across 
Russia and is the first operator in the region to go to market with a 
Mobile WiMAX solution," commented Ihsen Fekih, EMEA managing director for 
Bridgewater Systems. "The deployment will enable strong competitive 
advantage, providing Scartel with the ability to accelerate and de-risk 
WiMAX service introduction, and to differentiate, with innovative service 
models such as over-the-air provisioning and casual access."

Bridgewater Systems solutions have been selected by more than ten 
WiMAX service providers across the globe, including Sprint's new nationwide 
XOHM WiMAX Network.

Meet with Bridgewater Systems at WiMAX World October 1-2, 2008, booth 522.
