- Media and entertainment applications (e.g. streaming platforms, online gaming) use connectivity insights to monitor network performance metrics, dynamically adjusting video quality or game performance parameters to maintain optimal user experience as network conditions change.
- Remote control applications (e.g. industrial robots, drones, automated vehicles) rely on connectivity insights to evaluate network conditions, enabling real-time adjustments to control parameters and failsafe mechanisms to ensure safe and precise operations.
- Computer vision applications (e.g. AI-powered surveillance, real-time video analytics) utilize connectivity insights to monitor network performance, adapting video stream quality and processing priorities to maintain reliable detection and timely delivery of critical events and alerts.
- Network Quality Monitoring: Checking if the network quality meets the application’s requirements for a given user session.
Connectivity Insights
API Description
The “Connectivity Insights” API gives developers visibility into network quality, allowing them to check if their application’s network requirements can be met for a given user session. Based on the API’s response, developers can make informed decisions – like requesting a network boost through CAMARA Quality on Demand API or adjusting application settings (e.g., video resolution) to ensure the best possible user experience.
Use Cases
Benefits
- Make informed decisions: With Connectivity Insights API, you can understand network capabilities in real-time, enabling your application to adapt and optimize performance based on current network conditions. Whether adjusting video quality, game parameters, or processing priorities, you’ll have the data needed to enhance user experience.
- Proactive performance management: Monitor network quality continuously which impact user experience. This allows you to take preventive actions like requesting network boosts or adjusting application parameters, reducing user frustration and service interruptions.
- Enhanced user satisfaction: By understanding network capabilities and limitations, you can deliver more reliable and consistent service quality.
- Operational efficiency for the API customer (cost savings).
