Programming interface makes it easy for service
providers and third-party developers to customize application and
service offerings
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today announced its Open
Application Programming Interface (API) is gaining momentum in
enabling service orchestration, customization and analytics through
third-party platforms. ADTRAN offers a complete RESTful
(Representational State Transfer) API within its broadband,
enterprise and Wi-Fi access portfolios. As a result, the company
makes it easy for a diverse ecosystem of service providers, channel
partners, enterprises and third-party developers to create unique
customer applications, differentiate network services and automate
network operations to save time and increase revenue.
Many service providers are challenged by the complexity
associated with implementing, scaling and creating customized
services that address individual customer demands. Traditional
Wi-Fi solution vendors open some API features such as presence,
captive portal and guest access, and broadband infrastructure
providers are moving towards open APIs as part of their SDN
initiatives. ADTRAN provides a fully open RESTful API that supports
advanced flexibility in service automation to improve operational
efficiency; service orchestration to deliver better
user-experiences; and analytics to gain insight on network usage
and users.
For example, a NY-based art school leveraged the ADTRAN Open API
to create a device registration portal so its students can safely
register game consoles, smart TVs and other connected devices on
the school’s wireless network. This capability gives the school an
extended clear view into what devices are on the network and helps
them better provision bandwidth and network traffic. Additionally,
a nationwide service provider is using the Open API to allow
customers to centralize the management and provisioning of any
wireless access point at any location, eliminating the need for
manual intervention from the service provider or the customers’
network administrators.
“ADTRAN has a long history of providing solutions and services
that automate and simplify service delivery and create new revenue
opportunities. We are helping our customers create a flexible
networking environment in order to boost profit margins and reduce
turn up time for new services,” said Chris Thompson, director of
product management for ADTRAN. “Differentiated network applications
that can be layered on top of services like Wi-Fi, VoIP and
Ethernet are playing a more fundamental role for businesses in
every vertical across the world. ADTRAN empowers the creation of
these highly-differentiated and innovative applications that
inspire loyalty and capture new customers.”
