Allot sells through direct sales, distributors, resellers, OEMs, and integrators, so a challenger must win the same routes to scale. In telecom security, long partner ties can slow market entry and raise costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding a worldwide channel takes time and money, and that weakens the threat of new entrants.
