Unlock advanced network capabilities with just a few lines of code
Network APIs harness the power of 5G, making it easy for developers to add telecom features with just a few lines of code. Yes, you heard that right!
This opens up exciting possibilities, like remotely controlling vehicles (imagine an interactive self-driving car two thousand kilometers away!) and enhancing user experiences.
So, how can developers tap into this potential?
Network APIs can boost app performance using telecom power
At the Infobip Shift conference, Shkumbin Hamiti from Nokia showed how network APIs make the most of 5G and easily fit into apps, with demonstrations from experts Matija Razem and Boris Drilo highlighting their real-world uses.
Shkumbin defines its API business system as a way to deliver network capabilities that seamlessly integrate into applications, enhancing the digital experience for end-users. Network APIs are how developers enter the world of telecommunications.
They provide access to valuable user data collected by operators and manage the way your applications communicate with the network. From protecting bank customers to enabling remote control of ships or cars, network APIs are already having a significant impact on various human activities.
With Networks as a code API, you don’t need deep knowledge to unlock the power of mobile networks.
Network-Based Platform: Shkumbin says that Nokia has developed a platform called “network-based”, aimed at enabling developers to access and utilize complex network capabilities effectively.
API Development: The company is working on APIs that provide advanced functionalities, such as ensuring the quality of service for sessions and improving security through trusted device locations, instead of relying solely on-device data.
Developers can easily integrate 5G features into apps
Network Science: A significant focus is on “network science” within the company, providing specialized network creation for specific applications (e.g., 5G video devices) while minimizing legal complexities for users. Network API-s enable developers to integrate advanced 5G network capabilities into their applications seamlessly.
These APIs are giving you access to the power of the 5G network and unleashing a new era of innovation and revenue opportunities.
Main benefits to app developers: Hamiti mentioned the simplicity of using their APIs – requiring only a few lines of code to achieve advanced network capabilities, despite the complex technology running in the background. Simple APIs and ergonomics SDKs fit your existing workflows and make integration a breeze.

Network APIs in action!
This can bring users and developers to new use cases, better and more secure applications, and network monetization. If we speak about real use cases, for example, that would be:
- Remote logistic operations;
- Drone operations;
- Shared, remote, and automated mobility;
- Finance, Health and safety Asset management;
- Stadium, event, and gaming experiences;
- VR technology.
Partnerships and Collaboration: Successful implementation of these technologies often involves partnerships with other companies. They are emphasizing that collaboration is key to innovating and delivering such services.
These details emphasize the significance of network APIs in enhancing application capabilities. The company’s commitment to making these technologies accessible, and the various innovative use cases being explored.
