It has also identified that video streaming applications make up the vast majority of global mobile bandwidth usage at 35% of total demand for bandwidth. This has been partly due to increasing access to YouTube.

Allot’s solutions allow carriers the ability to offer tiered service by tracing everyone’s usage patterns, making the carrier able to pinpoint abusive users of the network, while ensuring the highest quality of service to its other customers.
The Service Gateway Omega continues to gain momentum in the market, particularly among many tier two customers. This need is fuelled by the migration from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit networks.
The primary concerns surrounding ALLT are its client concentration, long sales cycles, competition in the marketplace and its continued ability to win Government grants.
