Ericsson's India R&D centers are stepping up focus on network API (application programming interfaces) which allow new and existing industry sectors to utilize the advanced capabilities of telecommunications networks, the company announced.
«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.
«We are stepping up the work on AI, Gen AI and Network APIs at our R&D Centers in India,» said Andres Vicente, Head of Southeast Asia, Oceania and India.
«The synergy of high-performance and programmable networks, combined with network APIs and a vibrant ecosystem of developers, will create a powerful network effect of growth and innovation. And this represents a big opportunity for India with its thriving developer and startup ecosystem,» he added.
These APIs use standalone 5G architecture for performance-based business models. The R&D teams will work on developing programmable/API capabilities to support simplified and secure network interfaces, and advanced use cases, including Device Management, Security, and Fraud Detection.
