Allot's TDF Gives Operators More Network Visibility

HOD HASHARON, Israel -- Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers, today announced availability of its pure-play, 3GPP-compliant Traffic Detection Function (TDF) for LTE networks. Allot is a leader in LTE TDF solutions, and several top tier LTE operators are already utilizing the TDF-enabled Allot Service Gateway to analyze subscriber behavior and monetize their broadband networks. TDF - part of the 3GPP Release 11 LTE standard - provides CSPs with an unprecedented level of network visibility to better analyze and respond to broadband traffic. With increasing availability of LTE, aggressive competition has emerged from Over the Top (OTT) content providers such as Facebook and Skype. As these services thrive, operator revenues are drained, and carriers find themselves once again faced with the threat of becoming merely a “bit pipe.” The key for operators to monetize OTT traffic lies in the ability to better analyze and respond to that traffic in real time. The TDF-enabled Allot Service Gateway is a pure-play solution that enables CSPs to analyze and monetize OTT traffic by leveraging application awareness and transaction information in order to deploy innovative pricing plans, drive new service revenues and increase customer loyalty. Allot led the standardization efforts of TDF for LTE and continues to lead standardization activity for connecting TDF to other 3GPP components for policy control and charging purposes.
