Allot and Nokia Siemens Networks Partnership Enables Major Russian Operator to Deploy Revenue Generating Services.

Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers worldwide, announced that a major Russian fixed and mobile operator with over 25 million subscribers has deployed Allot Service Gateway Sigma (SG-Sigma) platforms to offer revenue-generating parental control and anti-virus services to its subscribers. Nokia Siemens Networks acted as prime integrator on this joint project, which is the first major win to result from the strategic partnership between the companies. The solution has been initially deployed in two key hubs within the operator's network.

SG-Sigma acts as a nexus point in the operator's network, accurately identifying traffic in real time at high speeds, and enabling intelligent policy-based steering of subscriber traffic to these value added services. The solution identifies those customers who have subscribed to the service and steers only their traffic to the relevant VAS platform, allowing optimized deployment of VAS infrastructure. The centralization of network intelligence and service deployment in SG-Sigma enables the operator to quickly and efficiently activate these services, accelerate time-to-revenue and increase ARPU.

"This deployment is proof that Allot and Nokia Siemens Networks have a successful blueprint for monetizing network traffic," said Dmitry Serdega, Head of Sales Business Solutions, Russia at Nokia Siemens Networks Russia. "The synergy between our two companies ensures that subscribers have real choices to enhance their Internet experience."

"This deployment highlights how Allot and Nokia Siemens Networks have played a critical role in uncovering new sources of revenue for the operator by enabling them to offer a wide range of scalable, value added services," said Andrei Elefant, Allot's Vice President of Product Management and Marketing. "We are very excited about partnering with Nokia Siemens Networks to deliver creative and innovative solutions to service providers worldwide."
