Telecom Lead Middle East: Allot Communications, a
supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and
mobile data networks worldwide has inked a definitive agreement to acquire
Ortiva Wireless.
The acquisition will enable Allot to further enhance its
Allot Service Gateway by mobile video optimization solution into a single
network intelligence platform or offering it as a standalone solution.
“This acquisition is an important building block in
our Service Gateway vision. Since the introduction of Allot Service Gateway in
2007, our goal has been to leverage our unique technology to enable the
broadest range of cost-saving and revenue-generating services on a single
intelligent network services platform,” said Rami Hadar, president and CEO
of Allot.
The incorporation of Ortiva’s technology within Allot
Service Gateway will allow mobile service providers to effectively manage the
ever-increasing volume of video traffic on their networks, which according to
Allot’s latest Global MobileTrends report, now represents 42 percent of mobile
data traffic worldwide.
Ortiva Wireless offers innovative solution for proactive
management of mobile video. The solution allows service providers to improve
the quality and efficiency of rich media content delivery by optimizing for
real-time network conditions and for each mobile connection.
“Combining our unique technology with Allot’s
solutions will allow us to continue and expand our mission of enabling service
providers to manage the ever-increasing flood of data traffic while
significantly improving the quality of experience for each individual
subscriber. We look forward to growing together as one company,” said Ortiva’s
CEO, Marc Zionts.
Ortiva’s solution has been deployed at two Tier 1 mobile
service providers to date.
The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The
acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, and
is expected to close during the second quarter of 2012.
