At the 2024 Global NaaS Event (GNE), Console Connect, an on-demand platform and global automated network for intelligent data movement, launched an open-source solution to help developers accelerate adoption of standards-based APIs, such as MEF’s LSO Sonata APIs.
Console Connect is also running a NaaS Pre-Accelerator program, called Clear Shadow, at the event, focusing on LSO Sonata APIs adoption for BSS/OSS automation. All MEF members are welcome to join the program in order to contribute to the open-source project.
Console Connect LSO API Adaptor
The Console Connect LSO API Adaptor is a significant step forward in the ICT industry’s efforts to align with common API frameworks that deliver end-to-end business automation of services.
According to MEF research, over 160 service providers worldwide are in some stage of the LSO Sonata adoption lifecycle. Console Connect’s LSO API Adaptor allows service providers to fast track their move to standards-based APIs without additional coding or compromising any existing workloads or integrations.
By achieving MEF-LSO compliance, ICT service providers open up new opportunities for operational interactions between buyers and sellers, thereby enabling new revenue streams and driving greater value for customers.
“API standardization has the power to change the future of the ICT service provider industry and help developers access networks universally. APIs are part of our company DNA and this new solution demonstrates our commitment to helping developers within the service provider sector accelerate their API integrations and align with industry standards more quickly and efficiently,” said Paul Gampe, CTO, Console Connect.
It is worth noting that Console Connect is among the few Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platforms that are fully MEF-compliant. Alongside the launch of the API Adaptor, Console Connect is now providing project management and technical support for API integrations, following a risk-free, two-phase approach: discovery and implementation.
Booming Network API Market
It is estimated that the network API market could be worth up to USD 300 billion in connectivity and edge computing-related revenue for service providers over the next five to seven years.
Network APIs like those offered by Console Connect help facilitate dynamic management of network resources, enhancing inventory, quotations and orders through standardized API calls.
By integrating with Console Connect via API, businesses can instantly reach over 1,000 data center locations worldwide, leveraging private, high-performance infrastructure.
