QoS Booking and Assignment

API Description
Use Cases

The QoS Booking and Assignment API is versatile and can be applied to various scenarios where network performance is critical and booking in advance is required:

  • Live Event Streaming: Ensure high-bandwidth, low-latency network conditions for broadcasting a live concert or sports event. Booking ensures streaming quality during the event; devices (e.g., cameras, encoders) are assigned later and activated to ensure smooth data transmission.
  • Industrial Automation & Remote Robotics: Maintain ultra-low-latency and high reliability for remote control of machines in a factory or mining site. Devices such as robotic arms or sensors are assigned to the booking to ensure precise and uninterrupted operation.
  • Augmented/Virtual Reality Experiences: Deliver stable and immersive AR/VR applications at trade shows or gaming events. Booking ensures consistent bandwidth and latency, while devices (e.g., VR headsets) are assigned for the required quality.
  • VIP or Business Communication Services: Provide premium voice and video quality to VIP attendees at a business conference or high-level meeting. Booking ensures network priority; assigned devices maintain high call and video quality throughout the event.
  • Autonomous Vehicles: Ensure ultra-reliable, low-latency connectivity for autonomous vehicles navigating urban or test environments. Booking reserves the required network conditions along the vehicle’s route; devices (e.g., vehicle communication modules) are assigned to maintain safe and continuous operation.
Benefits

Using the QoS Booking and Assignment API offers several advantages for developers and end-users:

  • Abstracts away complex network configurations, making QoS and device assignment simple to use.
  • Bookings are made in advance, giving developers assurance and allowing them to assign devices at any time before the booking expires.
  • Enables consistent and reliable application performance in critical situations.
  • Supports proactive resource allocation and service planning.
  • Enhances user experience through agreed service levels.
  • Offers flexibility to manage network resources across different times, locations, and device sets and delivers operational efficiency and cost savings.
  • Ensure compliance with privacy regulations through secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
