Hod Hasharon, ISRAEL – March 18, 2008 – Allot Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT), a leader in IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, today announced the appointment of Eli Cohen as Vice President of International Sales, responsible for sales effort in EMEA, Former Soviet Union and APAC.

He will be replacing Menashe Mukhtar, who has been with the company since 1999 and will be pursuing new ventures.
Mr. Cohen has over 15 years of experience in Telecom sales. He joins Allot from ECI Telecom, where he spent the past 6 years. Most recently, he served as the Vice President of Sales and Sales Operation for the Broadband Access Division. In this capacity he managed a global sales team and sales operation with responsibility for annual sales of approximately $200M. Prior to that, he was responsible for managing ECI’s Broadband Access Division’s strategic accounts worldwide. Throughout his career, which includes both telecom and enterprise experience, Mr. Cohen demonstrated the ability to acquire and manage large accounts, manage global sales teams, and develop channels and OEM accounts.
“Eli brings us a proven record of managing sales teams that successfully delivered revenues above expectations, along with extensive contacts within the global telecom market,” said Rami Hadar, Allot’s President and CEO. “We believe that he is a key addition to our management team, and with his strong sales and managerial credentials, he is the right person to lead Allot’s international sales team to the next level of growth in the global telecom market.
