Allot Communications' 3GPP-Compliant TDF Offers CSPs Innovative Ways to Analyze and Capitalize on LTE Traffic
Allot teamed with Tier-1 Mobile operators and led the Standardization of TDF for LTE Networks
HOD HASHARON, Israel, June 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Allot Communications Ltd. [http://www.allot.com ] (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.
To underscore the importance of TDF, this week market research firm Current Analysis
issued a new paper highlighting the benefits and availability of TDF solutions for LTE.
"The era of LTE has brought with it a new paradigm of competition. OTT players have
taken advantage of these higher speed networks to create services that are in high demand
- services that bypass carriers altogether. As a result, CSPs must develop new ways of
thinking when it comes to offering mobile services," said Lynnette Luna, Senior Analyst,
Services Ecosystem, Current Analysis. "TDF is an important tool. Greater network
visibility means CSPs have the power to implement new pricing paradigms based on real-time
user data around device types, location, application, usage and more. CSPs can take full
advantage of LTE's capabilities around QoS and data speeds while leveraging their position
in the market to add significant value to OTT offerings.
"TDF brings with it the opportunity for carriers to implement business intelligence
analytics and application-specific charging policies. This type of dedicated functionality
is critical for carriers looking to add value to OTT providers like Facebook and Skype,"
said Andrei Elefant, VP Marketing & Product Management of Allot Communications. "Allot is
a market leader in TDF, and we are leading the change in standardizing this important
technology to simplify operator networks and bring our customers the most powerful
analytics tools available."
Allot Communications has issued a new white paper analyzing pure-play versus embedded
TDF architectures. The white paper compares the performance, scalability and operability
in converged network environments of these two TDF architectures. To access both the Allot
Communications white paper, as well as the Current Analysis paper, please click Here.
