Course Overview: APIs in Telecom

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the use of APIs in the telecom sector, covering essential principles, protocols, and real-world applications. Participants will explore how APIs enable automation, scalability, and innovation in telecom services, from billing and network management to 5G and IoT integrations.

Special attention is given to three initiatives: TMForums Open APIs, GSMA’s Open Gateway and CAMARA. In the end we see a natural evolution of CAMARA with Aduna. With hands-on labs and case studies, learners will gain practical skills in API development, security, and management, tailored to the unique demands of telecom networks. This course is ideal for professionals aiming to enhance their expertise in API-driven telecom solutions.

Who Should Attend?

This course is suitable for anyone in telecom looking to leverage APIs for automation, interoperability, and scalability.

Key Questions from Our Latest Virtual Classroom

✔ How do we handle authentication and authorization when implementing Open APIs like those in CAMARA?

✔ How do we ensure user privacy and consent with CAMARA APIs? (e.g., obtaining user consent for location tracking in the “Device Location” API—both live and historical data)

✔ How do CAMARA APIs align with 3GPP specifications, particularly for the 5G standard?

✔ How do CAMARA APIs integrate with existing legacy custom APIs in telecom networks?

✔ What does a CAMARA API implementation look like from an architectural perspective

✔ How can I containerize a CAMARA API and deploy it in a Kubernetes cluster?

✔ What are the best practices for testing a CAMARA API?

This course provides in-depth insights and practical knowledge to help professionals navigate the evolving telecom API landscape effectively.

Familiarity with telecom services and terms, such as network management, provisioning, and CRM, is helpful but not mandatory.

Foundational Knowledge of APIs
Basic understanding of what APIs are, including common types like REST and SOAP, and how they generally function.

Technical Background in IT or Software Development
Experience with programming concepts, especially with HTTP requests and JSON, will help learners get the most out of hands-on labs and coding examples.

This course focuses on the Management and Orchestration (MANO) functions with the building blocks of the main ETSI NFV architecture as a base.

While still keeping the big picture and real-world use cases in view, it describes the three main sub-components of MANO (NFVO, VNFM and VIM) and explains how they are used to construct a Network Service (NS) comprising virtualized as well as physical network functions (VNFs and PNFs) connected with virtual network links (VLs).

This course exists in a shorter version, NFV MANO in an Hour, and a full-length version covering all topics in much more detail.

ETSI Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) provides solid background to Edge Computing, MEC Architecture, MEC procedures and integration with 5G.
 

In 2022 technologies and trends such as Massive Internet of Things (MIoT) and the roll-out of 5G call for a service deployment platform which can deliver high bandwidth as well as ultra-low latency for certain users and applications.

ETSI’s work on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) addresses this, by defining and standardizing an efficient data processing architecture, that extends the existing cloud computing capabilities.

The main objectives of MEC can be summarized as:

  • Optimization of mobile network resources by hosting compute-intensive applications at the edge of the network
  • Allowing pre-processing of the large data volumes before sending data deeper into the cloud
  • Enabling cloud services within the proximity of mobile subscribers, and
  • Providing context aware so called MEC Services to MEC Applications with the help of radio access network information.

In doing so, MEC enables a wide variety of applications for which very low latencies are required, such as applications for driverless vehicles, virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), robotics and immerse media.
