How Network as Code could give developers access to intelligent 5G infrastructure and speedier ROI
But the advent of software-based networking standards like 5G has opened up the wealth of new capabilities which are now embedded within telecommunications infrastructure. And these can be harnessed both by telcos looking to further monetise the products and services they offer, and software developers keen to add value and improved user experience to their own applications by getting access to underlying network functions via APIs and software tools.
While that's easier said than done, it starts with accepting that compelling industrial use-cases, for example, are likely to demand an approach to connectivity which is more developer-controlled. The platform offers developers open APIs, Software Development Kits and code development support to access what Nokia calls 'deep network functionality' alongside data that enables new applications and services supported by 5G and other connectivity environments. There's also a 'sandbox' to create software code for use-case simulation and testing, plus 'snippets' that can be added to applications, along with developer analytics to track usage.
Coding for 5G deployment does demand that developers from more conventional backgrounds acquire new skills. For example, integration network features are core to Industry 4.0 application software, so that developers can couple the specific properties of a 5G network, like dynamically variable Quality of Service and device location reporting, to the needs of specific use-cases.
"Used in combination with other network features, like device status and device location, would result in very powerful solutions – helping coders to see potential combinations is one of the aims of the Network as Code developer portal."
