  • Minutes of last API backlog WG call available here

    • DECISION: Approved

Recent Updates & Recap

TSC meeting 16th January:

...

  • GSMA informed CAMARA Backlog that Open Gateway is considering certain Drop2/3/4 APIs that have been stuck in Backlog, “at risk”, due to lack of support. What this means is that GSMA is pushing our MNOs to actively reconsider within the next 2 weeks if they can support them. By raising it in the Backlog meeting we increase the chance to find enough support to “reactivate” progress. 

    • Best Interconnect

    • IMEI Fraud API

For clarity if any API is not a priority for OGW anymore at this point in time, we still expect they can progress independently in CAMARA.

Focused on booking resources for a non-warranted connection for IoT, group of many devices at once, during a certain period. Not directly related to QoD or HighThroughput API.

Kevin Smith posible overlap with Dedicated Network API (proposal), related to configure a network for a set of devices. To be reviewed.

Issue#14 raised to discuss about posible overlap

fabrizio moggio : Proposal to include IoT API (separate repo) as part of the Dedicated Network “family” (share participants and meetings) to align use cases and definitions.

Jan Friman : this API looks like a specialization of Dedicated network API

Proposal: To be proposed in the Dedicated network issue to validate Issue#14

TIM proposed an alternative approach to complement Dedicated Networks API, so that developer can manage energy modes, IoT slice selection os similar for a IOT device.

Tanja de Groot Thorsten Lohmar proposed those features to be generic, not dedicated to IoT use cases

Continue discussion with the new scope, including new API name.

Dedicated network group will still be used to include the previous scope (scheduling a network config for IoT)

New scope of API will be discussed separately.
