API Description

The API Dedicated Network API, provides functionalities for reserving network connectivity resources, selecting network capabilities, and controlling access for devices

With this API, developers can

  • reserve network connectivity resources (e.g. Throughput) potentially with an SLA and for time and location (service area) limits,

  • discover supported and prepared network capabilities/resources (e.g. existing slices to connect to)

  • manage device access, offering insights based on network profiles and resource states.

These estimations/data points are derived from anonymized historical data of provided networks and related connected devices in the requested area (e.g. network slices and connectivity monitoring), ensuring accuracy while maintaining privacy and security

Use Cases

  • Media Production – The Dedicated Networks API ensures stable connectivity performance for a camera crew during a press briefing event. It dynamically adjusts the Quality of Service (QOS) profiles for each camera, providing higher quality and QOS for the live camera and lower quality for standby cameras. This allows the media producer to manage video production efficiently, ensuring seamless live streaming.

  • Festival – The Dedicated Networks API provides stable connectivity for operating credit card readers and CCTV cameras at a festival. The API allows the festival organizer to switch between different QOS profiles, ensuring high-quality video for security purposes and reliable payment processing. This helps in managing the festival operations smoothly without interruptions.

Example

API Description

The API Population Density Data, provides population density estimations for a specified area and time interval.

With this API, developers can retrieve population density data per km², offering insights at different time intervals based on three key values: (1) Minimum Population, (2) Average Population, and (3) Maximum Population.

These estimations are derived from anonymized historical data of network-connected devices in the requested area, ensuring accuracy while maintaining privacy.

Use Cases

  • Drones – Compliance with Regulations: Provides population density data for SORA assessments, ensuring compliance with European regulations and improving accuracy in risk assessments.

  • Drones – Optimizing Flight Routes: Helps drone operators select safer routes by identifying high-risk zones and optimal flight times.

  • Data-Driven Marketing: Enables marketing teams to target populated areas effectively, maximizing campaign impact and conversion rates.

  • Effective Emergency Responses: Supports authorities in assessing emergency severity and allocating resources based on population density.

Benefits

  • Regulatory Compliance: Facilitates adherence to European drone regulations with dynamic population data, ensuring accurate risk assessments and smoother approval processes for flight authorizations.

  • Safety Optimization: Drone operators can optimize flight routes by considering the number of people and time, while also assessing whether ground risk is acceptable for the time of the flight or if an alternative time should be considered to lower the risk.

  • Higher Marketing Efficiency: Enhances campaign effectiveness by targeting high-density areas, allowing marketing companies to optimize resource allocation and improve outreach impact.

  • Improved Crisis Management: Facilitates faster and more informed emergency responses, enhancing efficiency and mitigating the impact of disasters.
