Allot Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq:ALLT; TASE: ALLT) has won a $6 million contract to provide virtual parental control services to a tier-1 mobile carrier in the EMEA. The project will be implemented in phases over several years.
The product is based on Allot's Service Gateway Parental Control Service, which steers the subscribers' traffic to a virtualized parental control filter to screen the web pages for harmful or inappropriate content.
"The rapid penetration of mobile broadband, combined with the proliferation of mobile devices, has left children potentially exposed to inappropriate content without proper supervision," said Allot marketing & product management VP Andrei Elefant.
The analysts' consensus is that Allot will report $28 million revenue for the first quarter of 2013 and $125 million for the year. The timing of today's announcement is good for the company, which reported weak results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012, due to poor sales in Europe and questions about the company's entry into the US.
