Automating with network APIs: a live discussion

Today on Zero-Touch Telecom Live, we welcomed Domos CTO and co-founder Magnus Olden to discuss the transformative potential of network APIs. Magnus recently hosted two highly successful events aimed at sharing network API knowledge among operators and developers, and discussed his key takeaways with us. The replay is available now below.

What Makes Network APIs Essential

Network APIs have been a hot topic in mobile tech circles, representing the ultimate form of automation by allowing end users to define network operations based on specific needs and market requirements.

In our discussion, Magnus hit on several key considerations for telecom as it seeks to add value to the latest network API strategies:

• Coverage is key. Network APIs can only be effective with substantial network coverage. Global coverage isn’t always necessary, but having expanded coverage within specific countries or regions is a top requirement.
• Developer experience matters. APIs haven’t always been built with consideration for the developer experience, posing a hurdle to adoption. Simplifying processes for developers is essential.
• Success stories help. Real-world success stories help drive uptake by demonstrating practical implementations that solve specific problems.

Magnus also shared his journey from a machine learning and AI background to becoming a key enabling figure within telecom.

Watch the replay of our conversation now for a fresh perspective on the significant potential of network APIs to transform telecom operations.
