How the API Movement Is Transforming the Telecom Industry

The major source of revenue for any telecom sector industry is through calls and SMS. But, due to increase in customer demand for over-the-top (OTT) services, such as WhatsApp, Skype, and Netflix, which consumes huge portion of telecom bandwidth, telecom operators are facing loss in revenue generation. Thus, telecom sector is in the search of some alternative, which could control the declining profits and customers increasing bandwidth usage and one such alternative is Telecom application program interface (API).

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 01/24/2018 --Telecom Application Program Interface(API) enables a third-party company to access data/information from telecom network operators for application support and delivery of value-added services(VAS) application. Telecom API provider boost their revenue by sharing the APIs with OTT providers so that they charge consumers for extra bandwidth, by providing vast and accurate information to the developers and by sharing the API internally with the programmers to develop better operation solutions. Adoption of telecom API by telecom carriers is expected due to expansion of cloud technologies and mobile internet.

The telecom API market is segmented based on type of API, user type, and region. Based on type of API, it is categorized into short messaging services(SMS), multimedia messaging services(MMS), and rich communication services (RCS) API; web real-time-communications(WebRTC) API, payment API; location API; machine to machine(M2M) &Internet of Things(IoT) API; content delivery API; and others (voice store and voice control API; and ID/single sign-on(SSO) & subscriber API). On the basis of user type, it is classified into partner developer, enterprise developer, long-tail developer, and internal developer.
