Leading Asian Operator Leverages Powerful BEA SDP Middleware to
Expand and Manage Revenue-enhancing Services from Third-party
Content and Service Providers SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS), a world
leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software,
today announced that Singapore Telecommunications Limited
(SingTel), Asia's leading communications operator and largest
multi-market mobile operator, has deployed BEA WebLogic(R) Network
Gatekeeper at the core of its next-generation service delivery
platform (SDP). Standardizing on BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper
has enabled SingTel to create a powerful services layer which can
help SingTel realize new revenue opportunities with their existing
network assets by leveraging content and services from a wide
ecosystem of third-party partners. "We are committed to providing
our customers with convenient, valuable and innovative services via
wireless and Internet platforms and recognize that these services
must be developed quickly and must function reliably in order to
meet the needs of today's consumer," said Mr. Ho Siaw Hong, vice
president of Consumer Mobile Engineering, SingTel. "By extending
our service delivery platform, BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper
enables our partners to build on SingTel's service capabilities in
order to create these new services for our customers and enhance
revenue opportunities for the company." A key aspect of
next-generation SDPs is that they allow third-party partners to
access an operator's telecom network capabilities such as
messaging, call control, charging, presence and location. To ease
the integration of an operator's capabilities with third-party
partners, including IT developers, BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper
uses open, industry standards such as Java and Web services, as
well as custom telco interfaces. With BEA WebLogic Network
Gatekeeper deployed in its SDP to enforce service level agreements,
SingTel can manage and control the increased partner access and can
source new revenue-generating services from a larger pool of
third-party content and service provider partners. "Rapid
technological change, combined with increasing consumer demand for
innovative and personalized services, has created significant
opportunity for the telecommunications industry. In this dynamic
market, innovation, responsiveness and reliability are critical,"
said Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager of BEA
WebLogic Communications Platform, BEA Systems. "We are delighted
that SingTel has deployed BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper as the
agile and scalable foundation of its next-generation service
delivery platform." SingTel Group is a leading integrated
communications group in the Asia Pacific region with operations in
20 countries and more than 158 million mobile subscribers -- the
