Network as Code for developers

Expanding upon the hierarchy concept above, in many cases we can combine multiple network capabilities together to further benefit. For example, by combining the Device Location together with network Quality on Demand, an application can create geo-fenced parameters within which different network quality will apply. 

In our search for the “killer apps” we sometimes focus only on what applications we can enable that presently cannot be done at all. However, in many cases the network capabilities will contribute to an existing application to close a functional limitation or to expand availability and performance and in some industries, these improvements in degree can provide profound benefits. For example, in industries that already have some remote operator applications, in situations of network congestion where latency drops below a threshold, operations must be turned-over to an on-site person and this diminishes the recognized benefits of the remote operations. In these situations, if the application can signal the network to stabilize network latency “on-demand”, then the remote operational mode can continue and all of the benefits remain intact.
