Bridgewater is Cisco Ready
 Bridgewater Systems is a Preferred Solution Developer in the Cisco Developer Network (CDN), providing joint customers with end-to-end integrated solutions for the mobile packet core for 3G and 4G networks.
The CDN unites Cisco with third-party developers of hardware and software to deliver tested interoperable solutions to joint customers. As part of the program, the Bridgewater® Policy Controller (PCRF) and Home Subscriber Server (HSS) have undergone extensive interoperability verification testing (IVT) with Cisco’s mobile packet core solution for 3G and 4G networks.
The Bridgewater HSS and PCRF completed IVT with the Cisco ASR 5000 for the mobile packet core, including the PCRF Gx and Gy interfaces to the packet data network gateway and the HSS S6a and STa interfaces to the Mobility Management Entity (MME) for LTE, and the PCRF Gx/Gx+, and Gy interfaces to the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) for HSPA.
As a Preferred Solution Developer, Bridgewater Systems has worked closely with Cisco to deliver enhanced solutions that deliver greater interoperability with Cisco networking solutions. Bridgewater Systems also shares Cisco’s strong commitment to customer service and satisfaction, has completed IVT based on criteria set forth by Cisco, and can provide their customers 24 hour, 7 days a week customer support.
Unified Computing System
The Bridgewater PCRF and HSS are now generally available on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) for 3G and 4G mobile packet core networks, enabling service providers to obtain greater cost/performance from their mobile packet core.
The Cisco UCS platform unifies network, computer, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system to reduce total cost of ownership, increase business agility, and improve productivity for the next generation data center. |
