5G is creating opportunities for enterprise businesses to benefit from the wireless communication over fixed local area network enabling both Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and enterprises to progress together. By exposing the 5G network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in a secured and flexible manner, the enterprise application logic can access, request, update and leverage the network analytics information to solve business challenges and facilitate digital transformation.

Once enterprise business applications can query 5G network information like knowing user status, traffic, Quality of Service (QoS), bandwidth, losses and other network statistics, numerous use cases will emerge.

To enable the ecosystem to define APIs and leverage 5G network as a platform rather than just a connectivity pipe, a disaggregated and distributed architecture of 5G is required. Network API is a secure method that enables communication between two network functions and facilitates the exchange of information. When one network function sends a request, the other function would respond or act accordingly. Many enterprise business applications would require access to 5G networks to query and leverage them in their business logic.

With our latest whitepaper from the realm of 5G network, explore the use cases that can be built using 5G network APIs.
