Allot Communications (News - Alert), a leading global provider of intelligent broadband solutions that put mobile, fixed and enterprise networks at the center of the digital workstyle, announced it has scored another coup by signing a contract with an Asian Tier-1 mobile operator for its Video Optimization solution and Allot Service Gateway (News - Alert). Both products are to be deployed across the operator's national network of some 15 million subscribers. This is a first-time order for Allot with this leading carrier, which preferred to remain unnamed.
"Operators are still looking for ways to optimize video and manage OTT content such as YouTube and Facebook (News - Alert) traffic,” said Andrei Elefant, VP Product Marketing and Management for Allot. “Allot's video analytics solution can find the root causes that affect an operator's video delivery capabilities and pinpoint which traffic should be optimized and in what way. Our video optimization technology then ensures an excellent viewing experience by preventing stalls and buffering delays. With an integrated solution such as ours, operators will enjoy better network efficiency, and end users will experience the uninterrupted video delivery they desire."
The contract comes just in time. The Allot VideoClass video optimization solution and Allot Service Gateway together provide the performance capabilities that will allow the operator to accommodate its recent surge in network data traffic, and OTT video traffic in particular.
According to the company, Allot's VideoClass is an application-aware video optimization system that is fully integrated with the Allot Service Gateway. It allows mobile operators to dramatically improve the quality and efficiency of video delivery by optimizing for real-time network conditions and for each mobile connection. This unique dual optimization capability enables a high-quality experience for video consumers while minimizing the bandwidth required by the video stream.
