AMSTERDAM, May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LTE World Summit
-- 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."
