Handling of simultaneous MAP versions
Supports through all 3GPP versions; v1, 2, and 3.
Simplified GSM-MAP integration
Simplifies the integration process by providing a RESTful interface to interact with GSM-MAP services. Developers no longer need to understand the intricacies of GSM-MAP protocols, as the Slicce API abstracts the complexity behind a simple REST API interface.
Expose GSM-MAP services as RESTful endpoints
Expose GSM-MAP services such as Subscriber Location, Call Control, Short Message Service (SMS), and more, as RESTful endpoints. This means that your applications can interact with telecom services via standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) rather than dealing with low-level telecom signaling protocols.
Rapid development & deployment
Enables rapid application development by providing predefined, tested, and ready-to-use REST endpoints that perform GSM-MAP operations. Whether you’re building a real-time location-based service or managing telecom-related events, you can quickly integrate GSM-MAP functionality into your application.
Developing GSM-MAP (Global System for Mobile Communications – Mobile Application Part) applications with a simple REST API can be made easier and more efficient using a service like Slicce MAP API Exposure Function. This approach allows you to seamlessly integrate GSM-MAP functionalities into applications without the complexity of dealing with low-level protocols directly.
MNO (Mobile Network Operator) would most typically expose APIs to MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) to enable better integration and interoperability between their services. By exposing APIs, MNO can allow MVNO to access its network resources, such as billing, authentication, provisioning, and customer care. This can benefit both parties by reducing operational costs, improving customer satisfaction, and creating new revenue streams. For example, MVNO can offer customized plans and features to its subscribers using MNO's network infrastructure, while MNO can leverage MVNO's market reach and brand loyalty.
