Moderator Gautam Hazari (Sekura.id) was joined by Mark Smith (IBC) and Matt Stagg (MTech Sport, Media & Entertainment) to explore the transformative potential of network APIs in the media and broadcast industry, focusing on their ability to enhance connectivity, security, and user experience.
The discussion centred around the GSMA's Open Gateway initiative, which aimed to standardise network APIs to ensure seamless integration with mobile networks globally. This initiative was designed to enable enterprises to leverage the advanced capabilities of 5G networks, such as contextual information and programmable functions, to improve customer interactions and service delivery.
One of the critical aspects highlighted was the importance of network APIs in providing contextual information about users. This data could be used to enhance customer experience by understanding their location, age, and device status. The ability to programme networks for specific tasks at specific times was also emphasised, with examples such as prioritising bandwidth for e-commerce transactions to reduce abandonment rates. These capabilities were made accessible through standardised APIs, ensuring uniformity across different operators and regions.
