Allot ChargeSmart Enables Revenue Boost for Operators and Improved Choice and Transparency for Subscribers
LTE World Summit, AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, May 17, 2011 - Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leading supplier of service
optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband
service providers worldwide, announced today that its intelligent charging
solution, Allot ChargeSmart, has been selected by a multinational mobile
operator. The converged charging solution, which is built on Allot Service
Gateway, will be deployed in nine countries, serving approximately 30 million
subscribers. Allot's intelligent charging solution is unique in its ability
to accurately identify OTT (over-the-top) applications in high speed
networks. This precise high-speed identification provides intelligence about
subscriber and application usage previously unavailable to charging systems,
thereby enabling the operator to better monetize network traffic in ways that
reflect its true value for both the operator and the subscriber.

The operator leverages the intelligence provided by Allot's solution to
support new charging models, such as content revenue sharing and new service
plans based on volume quotas, service tiering and popular application types.
One of the implementations of ChargeSmart for post-paid subscribers is a
Social Networking Plan that makes applications such as Facebook, MySpace &
Twitter 'toll-free', whilst all other application traffic is counted against
the monthly quota. An implementation for pre-paid subscribers involves
traditional tiered-service offerings where the subscriber selects a plan
based on an application-volume-throughput-time combination. Using ChargeSmart
to meter usage in real time, the operator notifies the subscriber when their
usage approaches the quota limit and redirects them to a portal where the
subscriber can top-up volume, if desired.
"As the mobile data market matures, operators are showing an increasing
readiness to adopt more personalized subscriber pricing models, as well as
institute revenue sharing models with content providers," explained Rami
Hadar, Allot's President and CEO. "Allot's ChargeSmart helps operators close
the widening gap between traffic load and revenues by offering subscribers
increased choice and control while charging based on actual usage. It also
strengthens their position in the mobile value chain by enabling new revenue
sharing models between content providers and operators."
