The Allot MobileTrends Report validates video as a mainstream medium and
demonstrates that it is the single most influential factor driving the need
for increased mobile network capacity. However, with P2P remaining the
biggest cause of cell congestion in the top 5% of cells, mobile broadband
networks are still facing the same challenges as fixed networks - growing
bandwidth demands, congestion, as well as finding ways to enhance the user
experience and to lessen the negative impact of a few subscribers on the
network.

    According to Allot MobileTrends Report:

    - HTTP streaming continues to be the fastest growing
      application with a 99% increase; its global mobile broadband share grew
      by 50% between Q2 and Q4, 2009.

    - YouTube accounted for 10% of global bandwidth during Q3 and
      Q4, 2009.

    - FaceBook experienced tremendous growth of 180% during the
      second half of 2009.

    - Skype is the undisputed VoIP traffic market leader,
      accounting for 77% of the global VoIP bandwidth; VoIP and IM
      applications have increased significantly by almost 47%.

    - HTTP downloads grew by 73%, and have become a feasible
      alternative for massive file sharing.

    - P2P is the single largest factor leading to cell congestion
      which accounts for 34% of bandwidth utilization in the top 5% of cells.

"Our MobileTrends Report is a valuable tool for mobile network operators
who need insight into subscriber behavior across applications and regions,"
said Rami Hadar, President and CEO of Allot Communications. "It highlights
how mobile data services are evolving and the extent of their influence over
the subscriber, which in turn, helps the operator understand the significance
of adapting their networks for the continued demand for optimized bandwidth."

The Allot MobileTrends Report data was collected from July 1 to December
31, 2009
using the long term reporting capabilities of Allot NetXplorer,
(www.allot.com/NetXplorer.html) Allot's centralized management and
reporting system. The length of the collection period allows accurate
identification of usage trends and patterns, reducing the influence of
temporary events in the monitored networks.
