  • 1.  Network Coverage over OpenAPI

    Posted Oct 20, 2022 08:18
    In the open API's i'm missing somehow the Network Coverage by Technology.
    A specific geographical Place / Address is conected by different Technologies with different Speed's.
    This base Data we need to maintained over API - this API we missing.
    How do you do this?

    Example of Data are:
    Geographical Place A
    - Coverd by FTTH by max 1G - suplied by Operator B
    - Coverd by Cable (HFC) by max 500Mb - suplied by Operator C

    Hi Thomas
    Wouldn't this be covered in the ServiceQualification API TMF645?

    Hi Jonathan,

    in the Aspect - usage of this Data - is well coverd by TMF645. 

    But what we are searching for is the Maintenance of the Base Data over an API (Coverage and State of a specific Location).

    Hi Thomas,

    Shouldn't this data be in the resource inventory and be maintained through synchronization with the network (for active network technologies) or through manual processes (for passive network technologies)?

    Best regards,

    Hi Roland,

    In our Ecosystem (Multiple Partners providing Connectivity) - those Data comes out of differend 3'rd Party Systems. For modellinge our Interface against them,  we are searching for the right API. I've also checked the API about Ressource Inventory (TMF664) but it seams to be hard to fit into it.

    Hi Thomas,

    I was rather thinking of TMF639. But I believe that the real challenge is the actual landscape at your partners.

    In case the 3rd party systems are resource inventories, TMF639 might be available and usable for federation of the data in your own inventory or on the fly queries. In case the 3rd party systems are network systems, you might be confronted with all kinds of vendor specific APIs. 

    Hope this helps,
