Ericsson's India R&D centers are intensifying their focus on network APIs to enable various industries to harness the advanced capabilities of telecommunications networks. These open network application programming interfaces (APIs) are designed to allow global developers to access 5G network features, such as quality on demand and network slicing, through programmable interfaces, transforming the network into a platform for innovation.
"Today even as service providers are delivering the benefits of 5G to consumers and enterprises, they have an opportunity to transform the network into a platform for innovation by making advanced 5G network capabilities available to the global developer community through open network application programming interfaces (APIs). For example, capabilities such as quality on demand and network slicing can be made available through programmatic interfaces," the company said.
These APIs, utilizing standalone 5G architecture, will support performance-based business models. Ericsson’s R&D teams in India are working on developing capabilities for programmable APIs to enhance network security, device management, and fraud detection, enabling simplified and secure network interfaces for advanced use cases.
