Allot MobileTrends: Global Mobile Broadband Traffic Report Shows Significant 72% Growth in

Worldwide Mobile Data Bandwidth Usage in H2, 2009


BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    

    - Video is The Single Most Influential Factor Driving the Need for

Increased Network Capacity; Youtube Captures 10% of Global Mobile Bandwidth


    Allot Communications Ltd. ( http://www.allot.com/ ) (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leader in IP service optimization

and revenue generation solutions based on  Dynamic Actionable Recognition Technology (DART), announced

today that its Allot MobileTrends: Global Mobile Broadband Traffic Report 

(http://www.allot.com/mobiletrends.html) indicates that worldwide mobile data bandwidth usage has increased

significantly by approximately 72% during the second half of 2009. Over-the-top applications such as YouTube

and Skype are driving this continued momentum in mobile broadband growth. APAC leads the growth with

86%; EMEA posted 70% growth and the Americas 59%. The Allot MobileTrends Report, which tracks global

IP application usage and growth, collected statistics from leading mobile operator networks worldwide with a 

combined user base of more than 180 million subscribers.




    The Allot MobileTrends Report validates video as a mainstream medium and demonstrates that it is the

single most influential factor driving the need for increased mobile network capacity. However, with P2P

remaining the biggest cause of cell congestion in the top 5% of cells, mobile broadband networks are still

facing the same challenges as fixed networks – growing bandwidth demands, congestion, as well as finding

ways to enhance the user experience and to lessen the negative impact of a few subscribers on the

network.


    According to Allot MobileTrends Report:


    - HTTP streaming continues to be the fastest growing

      application with a 99% increase; its global mobile broadband share grew 

      by 50% between Q2 and Q4, 2009.


    - YouTube accounted for 10% of global bandwidth during Q3 and

      Q4, 2009.


    - FaceBook experienced tremendous growth of 180% during the

      second half of 2009.


    - Skype is the undisputed VoIP traffic market leader,

      accounting for 77% of the global VoIP bandwidth; VoIP and IM 

      applications have increased significantly by almost 47%.


    - HTTP downloads grew by 73%, and have become a feasible

      alternative for massive file sharing.


    - P2P is the single largest factor leading to cell congestion

      which accounts for 34% of bandwidth utilization in the top 5% of cells.


    "Our MobileTrends Report is a valuable tool for mobile network operators who need insight into subscriber

behavior across applications and regions," said Rami Hadar, President and CEO of Allot Communications. "It

highlights how mobile data services are evolving and the extent of their influence over the subscriber, which in

turn, helps the operator understand the significance of adapting their networks for the continued demand for

optimized bandwidth."
