North American mobile service provider for the Bridgewater(R) Policy

News

    - An innovative, Tier 1 mobile service provider has selected the
      Bridgewater Policy Controller, a high performance policy control
      system, to manage its successful streaming video, music and content
      service. It is also being used to authorize and authenticate
      subscribers for third-party applications.

    - As service providers open their mobile networks to new devices like
      smartphones and to third-party applications such as mobile video and
      social networking, they need to manage a more complex subscriber
      experience. The Bridgewater Policy Controller allows service
      providers to:

    - Open the mobile ecosystem to deliver third-party applications and
      content to subscribers, generating new revenue and profit
      streams.

    - Authorize and track subscriber access to applications and content
      on a per-subscriber basis.

    - Modify services based on real-time context such as the person's
      location, roaming status, or the time of day.

    - Decrease time to market by making it easier to launch and
      monetize new services.



Quotes

Dan Geiger, Directing Analyst, Infonetics Research

"Policy services are moving beyond network bandwidth control to directing
how and when subscribers can access applications. Bridgewater's Policy
Controller enables service providers to offer on-demand, personalized
services such as downloading ten videos per month or restricting video
viewing when a subscriber is roaming in another country based on distribution
rights."

Ed Ogonek, President and CEO, Bridgewater Systems

"This multi-million dollar customer order validates our market leadership
in policy control and its importance in helping service providers deliver,
personalize and profit from popular applications such as streaming mobile
videos and music."
