Making Telecoms the Essential Spice of Every Business Ecosystem: The Slow Rise of APIs in Telecoms

  • Review the status of operator API programs such as: Verizon, AT&T, SingTel, Telecom Italia, Telstra, VHA, Rogers, Telus, Aircel, etc. 
  • Provide independent context on the common boat operators find themselves in, with a growing albeit a little slower than expected business. 
  • Understand the Landscape of operator API programs
  • Understand the reasons behind the slow take-up of APIs by third parties, e.g. operators continue to pay for the sins of the past, confusion on different operator approaches (developer pays, operator pays, operator store, any store), lack of an aggregated regional API from an operator, WAC confusion, OneAPI confusion / stagnation, dealing with customers who are not the operator’s customer, etc.
  • Review the steps necessary to accelerate the API business beyond the “knee of the hockey stick.”

Pre Conference Workshop

27 March 2012

Towards Smart City Service Delivery and Control Platforms – Putting SDP, IMS, MTC, EPC into context

Led by
Prof. Dr. Thomas Magedanz, Director of NGNI Competence Center, Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS

Registration will start from 9am onwards. Workshop will start promptly at 9.30 am and end at 5pm. There will be morning and afternoon refreshments of half hour and an hour and a half lunch break for all participants.

Workshop overview
The telecommunication infrastructure is constantly changing due to technological progress and changing application demands. This workshop will reflect the recent platform developments in the field of fixed and mobile Next Generation Networks (NGNs) towards a future internet environment, which should enable emerging smart city applications. In this regard the workshop will look on the convergence of network and service concepts and the related evolution of NGN standards and Service Delivery Platform (SDP) APIs and put them into a common context. Finally, service examples will be given by looking at the Fraunhofer FOKUS FUSECO Playground and the related testbed toolkits, which are deployed a various international network operator labs for early prototyping of innovative smart city applications.

Workshop Objectives
Participants will obtain a comprehensive overview of existing and upcoming fixed and mobile network signaling and service control platforms, such as IN, SIP, Diameter, IMS, RCS, LTE, EPC, VoLTE, MTC, M2M, SDPs, GSM ONE, OMA NGSI, WAC, Open flow, network virtualisation, cloud technologies, etc. The experienced trainer will based on his deep technical knowhow and didactical skills explain the motivations, principles, architectures, as well as applications of each of the key technologies and will set them into an overall context. The audience will understand the evolution and convergence of networks to seamless service environments and come to know the changing value chain of world of interconnected things and people.

Target Audience
The workshop is targeted for managers, sales persons as well as engineers from network operators, equipment providers and application developers, who need to refresh their knowhow and / or are new to the field of converging networks.

The most popular ones include the Open Source IMS Core (www.openimscore.org) and the Open IMS Playground (www.open-ims.org) established in 2004. In 2007 he opened the new Open SOA Telco Playground (www.opensoaplayground.org) for IMS/Web2.0/SOA service prototyping on top of NGNs and legacy circuit switched telecom networks. In spring 2010, he opened the Future Seamless Communication Playground (www.FUSECO-playground.org) based on the new FOKUS Open Evolved Packet Core software toolkit (www.OpenEPC.net) in order to enable applied research on IP core network evolution and seamless mobility support in multi access wireless network environments. In 2011, he entered with his team also into the machine 2 machine (M2M) communications domain by developing the Open Machine Type Communications software toolkit (www.openMTC.org). In addition to all this, Prof. Magedanz is investigating the evolution of Next Generation Networks towards the Future Internet (NGN2FI.org). Currently he is investigating the provision of a flexible ICT infrastructure for emerging Smart Cities. In the course of his research activities he published more than 250 technical papers/articles.
