The Telco Network API Challenge is re-writing connectivity as we know it. 🔑 But it's the people behind the challenge that make it happen - meet the companies and some of the mentors who tested with them! Florian Dejako from TapGig, Ramprasshanth Viswanathan from Tata Elxsi, Aldo Paeffgen from Perfect-iD / Personal information Data-Exchange, Robert Dimitrovski from GIRTAB and Dominik Rojković from InSky Solutions are some of the faces we met and tested with. Ewa Frydlewicz, Ilja Smirnov, Noel Wirzius, Stjepan Podgajski, Phillip Balkenhol, and Mikołaj Woźniak, led by Program Manager Anna Piwowarczyk, helped the companies connect their solutions with Deutsche Telekom's 5G Network APIs and together, we tested Location Verification, Device Status and Quality on Demand. The challenge spanned over 2 days of testing, feedback, and improvement! Day 1 was all about connecting the companies' tech solutions to Telekom's network and testing their (enhanced) performance in our 5G Lab in Kraków. Day 2 shifted to collaboration and feedback - the teams from Europe had a live connection with the startups and experts from T-Mobile US, led by Lincoln Luk, joining virtually to share their findings and test results. The exchange sparked new ideas and provided everyone involved with valuable feedback to refine their work in the future! TapGig leveraged the QoD API, proving its ability to eliminate connectivity issues at live events, Tata Elxsi and GIRTAB explored Device Status, Location Verification and QoD, while InSky Solutions' hospitality solution and Perfect-iD's data privacy/identity technology leveraged the Device Status & Location Verification APIs. Kudos to all mentors, jury, startups, colleagues, and enablers involved. 👏 #5G #APIs T-Mobile DevEdge | Peter Arbitter | Hartmut Wittig

Network APIs are the future! Here's the latest chapter. 👇 Earlier this week, our 5G Lab in Kraków hosted the tests for the Telco Network API Challenge - a trans-Atlantic joint initiative by Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US and hubraum! The idea is simple yet powerful - we bring together Telekom’s unique telco abilities in the form of Network APIs with promising startups and see what a tech solution is capable of when combined with optimal and customizable connectivity. We explored 3 APIs: - Location Verification - Quality on Demand (QoD) - Device Status 💡 The results? Forget about the “no service at concerts” problem! TapGig's live entertainment solution for remote performances leveraged our QoD API for smooth and reliable connectivity even in congested areas. Tata Elxsi explored Location Verification, Quality on Demand (QoD) and Device Status, adding Network APIs to the ways they help clients reimagine and transform their products and services. Industries include Automotive, Broadcast, Communications and Healthcare. InSky Solutions leveraged our Location Verification & Device Status APIs to enhance client management and processing, delivering precise and reliable insights. GIRTAB tapped into the Device Status, Location, and QoD APIs to optimize their large-scale data management, ensuring seamless performance across big chunks of data, improved integration, and operational efficiency. IoT tracking and tracing got a boost with Device Startus and Location Verification, executed in collaboration with Perfect ID! The APIs boosted their solution's precision and efficiency across supply chains and operations. What a journey! Day 1 was all about the tests, while Day 2 focused on sharing insights, refining findings, and exploring the broader potential of our APIs! 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 The sessions also fostered a dynamic USA-EU exchange with live virtual input between our lab in Kraków and the team in Bellevue, WA. The mentors, startups, and stakeholders from both sides of the ocean exchanged feedback and results, with a special keynote from Peter Arbitter, SVP Business Unit MACE / Network APIs at Telekom, and Hartmut Wittig, VP Magenta Business API. Key to the challenge's success was the guidance and expertise of our jury & mentors - thank you, Anna Piwowarczyk, Ewa Frydlewicz, Bartosz Gajewski, Eric Wilde, Hartmut Wittig, Noel Wirzius, Mikołaj Woźniak, Phillip Balkenhol, and Stjepan Podgajski! From Bellevue, WA to Kraków, Poland - this is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more insights from our Network API tests. 🎯 Another exciting transcontinental initiative is also around the corner - the T Challenge, with AI at the heart of telecom, powered by Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile US. #5G #APIs T-Mobile DevEdge | T-Mobile Polska
