The potential for network-aware applications is staggering. Coupled with the ever-evolving landscape of programmable networks, the opportunities for enterprises to optimize and transform the future of their businesses are limitless. The recent Kairos Pulse webinar brought together several industry veterans to shed light on these advancements and how network-aware applications are transforming global industries.
Here's a quick glimpse of what you missed:
Enhanced Network Control:
Kevin Howe–Patterson, Chief Product Officer at Shabodi, emphasized how network awareness
influences applications. “applications can request specific resources such as bandwidth and
latency, ensuring optimal performance even in congested environments. This means first–
responder applications can get the prioritization they need over less critical applications…“
Real–World Applications:
Stephen Booher from Booz Allen Hamilton shared fascinating use cases, including a first
responder scenario where mobile medics receive real–time guidance in the field. A network–
aware application was adapted to varying network conditions, ensuring continuous, critical
communication even in disaster zones…
Hybrid Network Capabilities:
Kevin also highlighted the necessity of exposing network services from various network types—
such as private Wi–Fi, 4G, and 5G—into a cohesive system. Alleviating previously excessive
costs, the new ‘hybrid approach‘ ensures seamless application performance for any usage from
factory automation to outdoor events…
The Role of CPasS APIs and Network APIs:
The discussion touched on the differences and value of CPaaS (Communications Platform as a
Service) and Network APIs (supported by GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA standards). These
technologies allow for advanced communication capabilities within applications, from video
calls to fraud detection, developing the user experience in a way that was previously
inaccessible…
