Ottawa, Canada
Bridgewater Systems has announced the successful completion of interoperability testing between its Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and BEA WebLogic SIP Server(TM). Bridgewater Systems recently joined the BEA Systems Partner Program, and is now working with BEA, a leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software. This effort is designed to help service providers quickly and cost-effectively launch new IP-based communication and collaboration services with proven integrated Bridgewater Systems' subscriber-centric policy management solutions and BEA communications infrastructure software.
This interoperability testing milestone pairs Bridgewater Systems' proven HSS solution with the BEA WebLogic SIP Server, the converged Java EE-SIP-IMS application server component of the BEA WebLogic Communications Platform(TM) product family - a converged IT and telecom service infrastructure platform for IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and next-generation Service Delivery Platforms (SDP). It also marks a demonstration of BEA WebLogic SIP Server utilizing an operational HSS with a Diameter interface, designed to help service providers to seamlessly incorporate their Bridgewater Systems HSS with BEA WebLogic SIP Server so that they can quickly and reliably enable new IMS applications.
"Breadth of interoperability testing is an important indicator of market demand and momentum," said Tyler Nelson, vice president of business development and marketing, Bridgewater Systems. "This partnership marks an important step in the commercialization of IMS and is designed to address the needs of service providers looking to rapidly bring new services to market. It also builds on our continued interoperability work with world-class companies as we facilitate best-in-breed solutions across the industry."
Bridgewater's HSS solution is designed to serve as a master repository of subscriber profiles and policies necessary for authentication, authorization and establishment of subscriber sessions, providing a single policy decision point in the IMS network to control subscriber access to applications.
BEA WebLogic SIP Server is a high-performance, highly available IMS application server which is designed to provide an integrated SIP Servlet and HTTP Servlet container to help enable rapid development and delivery of next-generation, converged, multimedia communication services. BEA WebLogic SIP Server is the converged IT-IMS service logic creation and execution component of the BEA WebLogic Communications Platform.
"Working with Bridgewater Systems is another step toward strengthening our telecom partner ecosystem," said Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager, BEA WebLogic Communications Platform, BEA Systems. "Our partnership with Bridgewater can help enable us to provide service providers a meaningful solution in the near term and is designed to help open the door for the pursuit of supporting other IMS applications."
