5G Network APIs: Unlocking $300 billion of value for telcos

Recorded: Tuesday 11th June

Network APIs will unlock up to $300 billion in connectivity and edge computing-related revenue for operators over the next 5-7 years (McKinsey, Feb 24).

As the telecoms landscape evolves with the rollout of 5G technology, understanding APIs are a top priority for developers, network operators, and industry stakeholders alike. The 5G Network APIs: Unlocking $300 billion of value for telcos webinar will explore the fundamental concepts and practical applications of 5G Network APIs.

This webinar is your gateway to understanding the crucial role of 5G Network APIs in shaping the future of connectivity. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the world of APIs, this session will provide valuable insights into leveraging 5G technologies effectively.

The webinar starts by looking at the Network Exposure concept in 5G and NEF followed by API definition as specified by OpenAPI and 3GPP. Furthermore, the webinar will give a good understanding of the integration of 5G verticals into the 5G ecosystem. Some examples of API usage in real world networks will be discussed along with GSMA's “Open Gateway Initiative” and the CAMARA project from the Linux Foundation.

Participants will get an overall understanding of API definition and their usage in 5G NEF in the context of Network Exposure concept.

Topics to be discussed include:

• 5G Network Exposure
• 5G Verticals
• Introduction to API
• API Standards and Definition
• 3GPP and 5G APIs
• Protocols for APIs communication and Modelling Languages
• Future trends in API Integration
