Bridgewater Systems announced availability of an IP address management solution, which improves the speed with which corporate, and consumer customers gain access to IP services, and provides service providers greater scalability and management for their IP data services. The solution is currently being deployed with a mobile service provider in North Asia.
The need for flexible and high performance management of IP address resources to enable secure and efficient subscriber access is becoming a key requirement for service providers offering IP services to a broad range of subscriber groups, including consumers and enterprises.
The Bridgewater® IP address management (IPAM) solution supports the dynamic assignment of IP addresses with very little latency – thousands of addresses per second - compared to traditional DHCP-based IP address management schemes. This improves both the overall scalability of the network, and the subscriber quality of experience in using the network by giving them access to the network and applications faster and more efficiently.
The IPAM solution integrates seamlessly with Bridgewater’s carrier-grade AAA Service Controller, which is compliant with relevant 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards for delivering IP addresses and provides robust RADIUS and Diameter functionality to meet the scalability, performance and load demands of major wireless service providers around the world.
“As the volume of IP services continues to grow, Bridgewater can meet the demand for high-performance IP address management by the operators and their customers,” said Farshid Mohammadi, vice president, product line management for Bridgewater Systems. “We believe our carrier-grade solution for managing access to IP services, as well as our ability to enable a seamless migration towards a network built around subscriber context and policy-based decisions will allow operators to excel in servicing subscribers in their markets for IP services.”
The AAA Service Controller features a subscriber data management capability that provides a centralised view of subscribers, including the current state of each subscriber showing when and how they are using the IP networks. This dynamic subscriber context allows service providers to determine not only which IP address to assign, but also when to immediately recover an IP address and reallocate it to other users.
Because IP addresses are returned to the pool as soon as a subscriber leaves the network rather than through lease expiration, operators can be assured the maximum number of IP addresses are available to meet their corporate customer needs. This allows for flexible policy-based IP address allocation decisions to be implemented in the network, improving subscriber service activation responses. In addition, operators are able to centrally manage how multiple IP address pools are allocated across physical and logical network boundaries to enable highly flexible management of the allocation process and a flexible approach to meeting service commitments with dedicated pools for corporate customers.
Integrated with the AAA Service Controller, the IP Address Management solution supports interoperability with other third-party platforms and applications, allowing operators to maintain existing billing and business procedures despite the change in how IP addresses are allocated throughout the network, and enables easy integration into multi-vendor and multi-access network environments.
Bridgewater Systems develops subscriber-centric service control solutions, including access control and policy management software for fixed, mobile and converged networks. Using Bridgewater solutions, global service providers can offer personalized services and experiences to their subscribers by maintaining a real time policy that controls how subscribers interact with networks, services, and their devices. Vendor-neutral and access network agnostic, Bridgewater’s carrier-class solutions help global service providers launch new services faster, target them more accurately, and maximise profits by creating a decision point that brings dynamic subscriber context to controlling and merchandising the subscriber interaction with IP-based services. More than 90 leading service providers around the globe including Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, Bell Mobility and SmarTone-Vodafone trust Bridgewater's technology to help them deliver world-class services.
