Market and solutions

• Customers tell Allot that they are interested in generating revenues with Allot solutions
• We have dramatically improved our charging capabilities (see recent announcement with Openet - here) - we have one joint deployment with Openet in the EMEA market
• Competition - no news - same pure players, no new ones in standalone market; embedded DPI - some vendors claim DPI functionality - no one compares in functions and scale
• We had to scale 10 fold growth in the number of connections supported by the DPI products in 18 months
