- Motorola to Distribute Bridgewater Systems AAA Service Controller in WiMAX Networks

Bridgewater Systems (TSX: BWC) today announced that Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) will incorporate and distribute the Bridgewater Systems(TM) AAA Service Controller as a key component in Motorola's WiMAX infrastructure solutions. As a result, Motorola customers will benefit from a best of breed network access control solution for advanced IP services.

Under the terms of this agreement, Motorola will have non-exclusive global distribution rights for Bridgewater(R) products, and will provide Motorola customers first and second line support services, customer training as well as installation and integration services.

"Bridgewater Systems' AAA Service Controller is considered the gold standard by many operators of 3G networks and their products will enhance our overall end to end WiMAX solution offering," said Adolfo Masini, Motorola vice president of WiMAX product management.

As a leader in subscriber-centric policy management solutions, including network access control, Bridgewater Systems is providing Motorola with its market-leading AAA Service Controller and associated modules. Recognized as the most scalable and robust AAA solution of its kind, the AAA Service Controller enables service providers to control access to advanced and differentiated services simultaneously across fixed, mobile and common IP backbone networks serving both WiMAX and 3G access technologies.

"This new relationship with Motorola will allow us to become a key ecosystem supplier in the rapidly growing WiMAX market," commented Tyler Nelson, vice president of business development and marketing for Bridgewater Systems. He continued, "We are pleased Motorola has selected our carrier-grade AAA solution which has already proven itself to be highly scalable, reliable and can support the most demanding performance requirements of tier one service provider deployments around the world."

The AAA Service Controller also features extensive mobile WiMAX support such as multi-protocol RADIUS and Diameter support, mobile IP, subscriber and device authentication as well as broad supplemental authentication protocols such as EAP, EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS. The AAA Service Controller is fully compliant with the WiMAX Forum(R) NWG Stage 3 Release 1.0.0 specification for mobile WiMAX.

The AAA Service Controller is able to support a wide array of access networks and vendor equipment simultaneously from a single platform. With a common policy and subscriber profile repository that serves all access networks, service providers can create a unified view of subscribers, realize operational efficiencies by eliminating the need to re-provision subscribers as new access technologies such as CDMA EVDO Rev A and WiMAX are introduced, and accelerate time to market for new services.
