Bridgewater
Systems Joins Alvarion’s OPEN WiMAX Ecosystem
Tel
Aviv, Israel & Ottawa, Canada – July 11, 2007–
Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALVR) and Bridgewater Systems
today announced
that Bridgewater has joined Alvarion’s OPENTM WiMAX
ecosystem to
provide subscriber-centric policy management solutions for WiMAX deployments.
With the signing of a worldwide reseller agreement, Alvarion will offer
Bridgewater’s proven AAA Service Controller as part of its all-IP 4MotionTM WiMAX
solution
which provides an end-to-end solution for broadband network
operators.
“We
are
pleased to be part of Alvarion’s best-of-breed 4Motion WiMAX solution,” said
Tyler Nelson, vice president of business development and marketing for
Bridgewater Systems. “Bridgewater’s participation in Alvarion’s OPEN WiMAX
ecosystem will allow operators around the world to gain access to an
industry-leading AAA solution that meets the requirements for mobile WiMAX,
in
addition to the functionality and carrier-grade performance required to support
4G services.”
Designed
as open, standard, and interoperable, OPEN WiMAX is a complete ecosystem
that
encompasses network equipment, consumer electronics, service offerings, and
even
the end-users’ experience. OPEN WiMAX is the ecosystem of partners behind
Alvarion’s highly scalable 4Motion solution, which combines BreezeMAXTM and best-of-breed
systems to create an operator-centric network solution for WiMAX.
4Motion
is designed to enable service providers to offer subscribers fixed and mobile
personal broadband services anytime, anywhere. The complete all-IP Mobile
WiMAX
solution is designed to be compliant with 802.16e-2005 and WiMAX Forum Network
Working Group specifications.
Fully
interoperable with 4Motion’s Access Service Network gateways (ASN-GW), the
Bridgewater Systems AAA Service Controller is a proven carrier-grade
authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) solution. It features
a
powerful policy and profile engine to allow service providers to control
and
manage access to advanced and differentiated services on a per-subscriber
basis.
The 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.
"Our
growing OPEN WiMAX ecosystem now includes Bridgewater’s leading
subscriber-centric policy management products, which enables us to provide
more
flexible options in an end-to-end turnkey offering to the mobile WiMAX market,”
said Rudy Leser, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing for
Alvarion. "Together we will provide a compelling value proposition to the
growing market for mobile WiMAX solutions, as Alvarion expands its 4Motion
solution by continuing to add best-of-breed partners.”
Under
terms of the agreement, Alvarion gains the right to resell the AAA Service
Controller and associated modules for WiMAX on a non-exclusive basis around
the
world.
