| Aepona Teams with BEA Systems to Help Accelerate Service Delivery Aepona has announced that it is working with BEA Systems, a world leader in communications infrastructure software innovation, to enhance customers' network capabilities and increase the availability of next-generation applications and services. The two companies have successfully completed interoperability testing between Aepona Parlay OSA Gateway and BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper, a standards-based service access and partner relationship management product. With the completion of this interoperability testing, Aepona and BEA are solidifying their partnership by providing products that can be used for an integrated telecom network solution. Network operators can now feel confident that Aepona's and BEA's joint offering is designed to interoperate out of-the-box across telecom services. Aepona's OSA Gateway provides an abstract view of a telecommunications network and allows individual capabilities to be exploited through a standard Java API. Built using a service-oriented architecture (SOA), Aepona's gateway offers a service capability view of the network and provides a future-proof framework for a new generation of applications and services. BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper is the telecommunications industry's only carrier-grade, standards-based platform designed to integrate policy enforcement, Telecom Web Services, and third party partner management. BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper 2.2, the latest version unveiled in June 2006 is designed to deliver new Telecom Web Services and native network application interfaces that can help network operators increase revenue from new, third-party services. With this product, BEA can help network operators safely expose their network assets to developers through an SOA-based architecture, using Telecom Web Services that can implement a range of capabilities such as call routing, text messaging, and billing. This network access, in turn, can help operators increase revenue from both new messaging and location-based services, as well as services from existing legacy networks. BEA Systems and Aepona continue to work together on targeted customer engagements using the wide range of products and services within their portfolios. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
