Bridgewater Systems and Apertio Announce IOT Success

3GSM Barcelona, 12-15 February 2007: Apertio, the leading independent provider of subscriber-centric networks, and Bridgewater Systems today announce the successful completion of the first phase of an interoperability programme that pairs Bridgewater Systems proven AAA (Authentication Authorisation and Accounting) solution and Apertio’s network directory server, and promises to deliver a comprehensive solution for GSM, CDMA, and next generation service providers.

Following the in-depth interoperability testing (IOT) programme between the Bridgewater Systems AAA Service Controller and the Apertio One-NDS (Network Directory Server), the companies will continue to work closely to develop best-of-breed complementary solutions for their global customer bases."Consolidating subscriber policy and profile data within a common, open repository at the heart of the network reduces complexity, and cost while significantly increasing performance and application response time," said Tyler Nelson, vice president, business development and marketing at Bridgewater Systems.
