Network Intelligence is the practice of inspecting live network traffic to understand which applications, subscribers and services are using the network, how well each is performing, and how that traffic should be handled. Allot delivers it as an in-line platform that combines AI-powered deep network intelligence, quality-of-experience measurement, policy control and analytics for fixed, mobile and 5G networks. - Real-time AI-powered identification and classification of 4,000+ applications - Deployed in 100+ networks across 5 continents - Per-slice QoE for 5G SA and NSA architectures - Open APIs into existing OSS/BSS and data lakes Our Core ## One data plane, five capabilities Every Network Intelligence capability runs on the same in-line platform — deploy once and turn on what the network needs, when it needs it. ### Network Intelligence Application-level truth about every flow crossing the network, in real time and at full line rate — no sampling, no blind spots. ### Policy & Charging Control Enforce plans, fair-use rules and charging logic in line, with policy that reacts to live network conditions rather than static profiles. ### Traffic Management Protect capacity and assure quality of experience by shaping traffic per application, subscriber tier or network slice. ### Regulatory Compliance Meet lawful-intercept, content-filtering and reporting obligations with auditable controls built into the same data plane. ### Network Protection Detect and mitigate DDoS, botnet and malware activity at the network level, before it reaches subscribers or core infrastructure. Products in this category ## Five products, one deployment footprint Analytics Layer ### Visibility Network-wide analytics and reporting: who is using what, where capacity is going, and how traffic patterns shift over time.

[Learn More](https://www.allot.com/network-intelligence/smartsentinel/) How it works ## From traffic-flows on the wire to decisions teams can act on Three coordinated layers of one platform. Traffic is inspected where it flows, scored and decided in the same pass, then published to the teams and systems that need it. Select a layer to see what happens inside it. Traffic Decisions Insight ### TrafficData plane #### Data plane Layer 1 of 3 Allot sits in the traffic path — physical or virtual, on-premises or in the operator cloud — and inspects packets as they pass, without terminating sessions or adding perceptible latency. - Deep network intelligence of 4,000+ applications - Works on encrypted traffic via AI-powered behavioral signatures - Scales horizontally from edge sites to national core ### DecisionsIntelligence layer #### Intelligence layer Layer 2 of 3 Classified flows are enriched with subscriber, slice and service context, scored for quality of experience, and evaluated against policy — all in real time, per flow. - Per-subscriber and per-slice QoE metrics - Policy and charging rules evaluated in line - Anomaly and congestion detection on live baselines ### InsightInsights, APIs & dashboards #### Insights, APIs & dashboards Layer 3 of 3 Results surface as operational dashboards, scheduled reports and open APIs, so network, product and security teams work from one shared source of truth. - ClearSee analytics dashboards and reporting - REST and streaming APIs into OSS/BSS and data lakes - Feeds monetisation, care and security use cases - **350+**Service providers worldwide - **30+**Years of network traffic expertise - **20M+**People living safer digital lives Comparison ## Why operators choose Allot Network Intelligence Swipe to compare | Capability | Allot Network Intelligence | Probe / analytics-only vendor | Router-embedded telemetry | |---|---|---|---| | In-line deep packet inspection at line rate | Yes.

Network Intelligence is the practice of inspecting live network traffic to identify which applications, subscribers and services are using the network, measure how well each is performing, and decide how that traffic should be handled. Allot delivers it as an in-line platform combining AI-powered deep network intelligence, quality-of-experience scoring, policy control and analytics. ### How does it differ from network security products? Network Intelligence answers what is happening on the network and how well it is performing; network security products act on what is malicious. They share the same in-line data plane at Allot, which is why operators who deploy intelligence first can add security services without a second deployment project. ### Which products are included in this category? Smart5G, SmartTraffic QoE, SmartPCC, SmartVisibility, Smart Sentinel, Smart NetProtect. Network-based security monetization services are a related category that reuses the same platform. ### How does it integrate with existing OSS/BSS? Through open REST and streaming APIs, plus scheduled exports into data lakes and reporting stacks. Policy and charging integrations follow 3GPP interfaces, so the platform slots into existing provisioning, charging and care workflows rather than replacing them. ### Is it available for 5G standalone networks? Yes. Smart5G supports both 5G standalone and non-standalone architectures, with per-slice classification and QoE measurement, and it can feed application awareness back into the 5G core. ### Does it work on encrypted traffic? Yes. Classification uses proprietary AI-powered behavioral and statistical signatures rather than decryption, so it still identifies encrypted flows by application and scores quality of experience without breaking privacy or terminating sessions. ## Go Deeper [View all](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/?language=english&vertical=service-provider-intelligence) [ ![Whitepaper cover: AI traffic and telco network strategy](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni5.webp) Whitepaper ### Why AI Traffic Demands a New Telco Network Strategy Read More ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/why-ai-traffic-demands-a-new-telco-network-strategy/) [ ![Whitepaper cover: DDoS defence briefing](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni2.webp) Whitepaper ### HardenStance Briefing: Combining Inline and Out-of-Band Modes for DDoS Defence Read More → ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/hardenstance-briefing-combining-inline-and-out-of-band-modes-for-ddos-defence/) [ ![Analyst report cover: future-proofing traffic management](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni3.webp) Analyst Report ### Future-Proofing Traffic Management | Omdia Analyst Report Read More → ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/omdia-analyst-report-future-proofing-traffic-management/) [ ![Use case cover: fixed wireless access QoE management](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni4.webp) Use Case ### Fixed Wireless Access: Smart Traffic QoE Management Read More → ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/use-case/fixed-wireless-access-smart-traffic-qoe-management/) - [ ![Whitepaper cover: AI traffic and telco network strategy](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni5.webp) Whitepaper ### Why AI Traffic Demands a New Telco Network Strategy ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/why-ai-traffic-demands-a-new-telco-network-strategy/) - [ ![Whitepaper cover: DDoS defence briefing](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni2.webp) Whitepaper ### HardenStance Briefing: Combining Inline and Out-of-Band Modes for DDoS Defence ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/hardenstance-briefing-combining-inline-and-out-of-band-modes-for-ddos-defence/) - [ ![Analyst report cover: future-proofing traffic management](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni3.webp) Analyst Report ### Future-Proofing Traffic Management | Omdia Analyst Report ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/whitepaper/omdia-analyst-report-future-proofing-traffic-management/) - [ ![Use case cover: fixed wireless access QoE management](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/resources/ni4.webp) Use Case ### Fixed Wireless Access: Smart Traffic QoE Management ](https://www.allot.com/resources-center/use-case/fixed-wireless-access-smart-traffic-qoe-management/) Swipe for more ![](https://www.allot.com/wp-content/themes/allot/assets/new-homepage/img/closing-cta/symbol.svg) ## See Network Intelligence In Action Bring us your traffic mix and we will show you what the platform sees — application by application, slice by slice.
