The well-known operator has come to completely transform its network into a technological platform. In this way, there are already several intelligent services that it offers in its network in Spain. And it is that, in the last two years, it has been developing a system with which to be able to take the network infrastructure to the cloud , with the aim of deploying new products and services in a more efficient and flexible way.
In this way, after much effort, Vodafone Spain has already announced the project with which it has been able to develop this API platform, open to product creators, software engineers, developers and third-party companies, with which access is allowed to a number of enhanced benefits of the Vodafone network.
The 5 APIs in the Vodafone network
As we have been talking about, this API platform (an application programming interface) allows the different functions of the products that are launched on this same platform to be integrated and used. With this, developers have a faster and more efficient way to achieve ‘ facilitate industry innovation ‘. Something that would not have been possible without taking your network infrastructure to the cloud .
Specifically, some of the APIs that have already been implemented in its network in Spain are up to five. Therefore, these are the 5 intelligent services that have reached this technological platform of the operator:
- Quality on Demand (QoD)
Thanks to the red operator’s NaaP technology , developers, as well as third parties, will be able to tailor the quality of service of the network using this particular API. Therefore, it provides an intelligent service that consists of modifying the network parameters in real time. As could be the case with a video call or streaming of games in the cloud.
- device status
With the Device Status API, it is possible to inform a third party of the client’s roaming status. One of the functions for which this service has been designed is based on reducing bank fraud from cybercriminals to users from other countries.
- Battery duration
In this case, we are dealing with an intelligent service that can be used to reduce the battery consumption of the device . In other words, depending on the actual use that is going to be made of the mobile network connection, the consumption will be different.
- Dynamic Bandwidth
This API, in particular, is responsible for changing, temporarily and when the user wants, the speed limit of the mobile connection of customer data. It can even be disabled. Therefore, it is a service that allows you to modify the bandwidth. It has even made it possible to improve the functioning of some services such as “Internet Pause”, of the SecureNet product .
- Aerial coverage for drones
This smart service is aimed at drones. It allows obtaining information about the area network coverage of a particular geographical area. So it will help to plan the route of the drones . In addition, it will be easier to take advantage of the areas that have better coverage.
Keep in mind that all this series of intelligent services are already available to developers within NaaP . In addition, the sectors that may benefit from this are the ‘ automotive, banking, drone management, insurance sector and manufacturers of technological devices ‘, among others.
