The acquisition enhances Allot's vision to integrate the widest range of critical value-added services in its industry-leading Allot Service Gateway (News - Alert).

The Allot Service Gateway enables wireless and wireline service providers worldwide to quickly and efficiently drive new revenue sources and to effectively manage the ever-increasing volume of video traffic on their networks.

Oversi's innovative caching and acceleration solutions help both fixed and mobile service providers to relieve the heavy network congestion associated with Internet video traffic.   Its technology identifies popular content and caches it at the edge of the network, therefore achieving significant bandwidth saving and minimizing long delays in Video delivery and enabling the operator to better monetize the flood of video.   The end result is a dramatic improvement in the subscribers' quality of experience (QoE) for video applications. Oversi's solution has been widely deployed at several large and medium service providers to date.

Recently, Allot Communications ranked third with a future earnings growth of 30.3 percent in a ranking of Systems Software industry with highest future earnings growth. The growth of earnings per share (next fiscal year estimated vs. current fiscal year estimated) is important to gauge future profitability and relative value. Higher EPS growth generally justifies higher earnings multiples.
