SINGAPORE, June 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- Innovative Approach Empowers Subscribers to Personalize and Manage 
Mobile Data Usage, Set Limits and Notifications, Receive Special Offers, and
Prevent Bill Shock

Bridgewater Systems (TSX: BWC), the mobile personalization company, 
today announced Bridgewater's myPolicy(TM) solution. It features the new 
myPolicy application for the Apple(R) iPhone and Research in Motion's 
BlackBerry(R), and policy control components that communicate with network 
and IT systems to provide a real-time view of mobile usage.

News

    -  Bridgewater's myPolicy solution enables mobile operators to give
       subscribers control over their mobile experience including:

       - My Usage: Tracking real-time data, SMS and applications usage, as
         well as voice and roaming charges anytime, anywhere.
       - My Limits: Setting personalized limits, notifications, and roaming
         controls to manage mobile usage and prevent bill shock.
       - My Offers: Receiving special offers in real time such as day passes
         for new applications, roaming passes for subscribers who are
         traveling, bandwidth top-ups, or free SMS with mobile advertising.

    -  The solution features:

       - The new myPolicy client application for the Apple iPhone and RIM's
         BlackBerry and coming soon for additional smartphones.

       - Software development kits that allow operators to brand, customize
         and extend the myPolicy application to meet operator-specific
         requirements.

       - The new myPolicy Broker, a module of the Bridgewater(R) Policy
         Controller that brokers requests between the myPolicy application
         and the Policy Controller, and retrieves the appropriate
         information to present to the subscriber according to their
         preferences.

       - The Bridgewater Policy Controller, a PCRF-compliant policy control
         function that applies real-time network, application and subscriber
         rules such as updating usage information, providing subscriber
         context, and enforcing limits. The Policy Controller sends requests
         and receives information from relevant network and IT systems.

    -  It offers several key benefits for mobile operators:

       - Improve customer loyalty by empowering consumers and enterprises to
         set their own policies including mobile usage at home, in the
         office, and while roaming, personal limits and notifications,
         prioritizing applications, or assigning different usage thresholds
         by employee function.

       - Increase Apps Store brand awareness with a convenient mobile
         application that offers easy access to personalized usage controls
         and service options that leverage subscriber assets such as
         preferences, location, billing, and behaviors. Operators can
         customize the myPolicy application with functions available on
         self-service web portals such as modifying plans and access to
         account features.

       - Drive incremental revenues with personalized services such as
         roaming or application day passes, bandwidth boosts, and special
         event offers based on usage or location. Custom myPolicy solutions
         can be provided to enterprise IT departments to manage mobile
         usage.

       - Reduce customer service costs by giving subscribers the freedom to
         set their own policies and monitor usage in real time on their
         mobile devices.

Peter Mottishaw, Principal Analyst, Analysys Mason

"There has been a rapid take up of mobile data services in the last two
years, driven by the introduction of more usable smartphones, such as the
iphone and more attractive mobile data tariffs. However, users remain
concerned about unexpected charges and bill shock. They are looking for ways
to personalize and control their mobile data usage and experience. They want
to monitor their roaming usage while traveling, receive notifications when
they are near their monthly bandwidth limit, know how much data an 
application is using, and receive timely offers. Mobile operators who can 
meet these requirements will be rewarded by loyal customers and increased 
take up of mobile data services."

David Sharpley, Senior Vice President, Bridgewater Systems
