Bridgewater Systems today announced it has been named
a winner of the first WiMAX Distinction Awards for its Over-The-Air
Device and User Provisioning for WiMAX Solution, by Technology
Marketing Corporation (TMC), an integrated global media company
helping clients build communities in print, in person and online.
The 2008 WiMAX Distinction Awards
honor the innovations and achievements of the companies who were
able to demonstrate a commitment to innovation in the WiMAX space.
Winners were chosen by members of the TMC editorial staff among
numerous outstanding case studies presenting the products and
services those companies have developed and deployed in the WiMAX
area over the past year.
Working in conjunction with Open
Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) compliant servers, the
BridgewaterŽ solution recognizes when subscribers and devices are
on the network to facilitate seamless provisioning and firmware
updates over the air, thereby reducing service introduction costs
and enabling immediate subscriber access to WiMAX services.
The Bridgewater solution features a real-time subscriber data
management capability which can share dynamic data such as location,
presence, IP address, roaming status, and registration status with
OMA-DM compliant device management platforms. This dynamic
subscriber context enables the device management platform to
configure and upgrade the device with a zero-touch operation for
both new and existing subscribers.
"This 2008 WiMAX Distinction
Award acknowledges Bridgewater Systems' commitment to innovate and
address the most complex challenges that WiMAX service providers
face as they prepare for commercial launch," said Phil
Thrasher, senior vice president, worldwide sales, services and
marketing, Bridgewater Systems. "Over-the-air provisioning is a
key service model for WiMAX service providers who want to introduce
light touch services based on open access to accelerate subscriber
acquisition, and ensure a high quality user experience in 4G
networks."
Bridgewater is currently
implementing this solution with a number of WiMAX service providers,
including Sprint. See related release.
Winners of the 2008 WiMAX
Distinction Award will be published in the July 2008 issue of
INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine and on TMCnet.
