Research and Markets: Understanding and Capitalizing Upon Telecom APIs for Communications Enabled Applications

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wz7g9h/understanding_and) has announced the addition of the "Understanding and Capitalizing Upon Telecom APIs for Communications Enabled Applications" report to their offering.

Application Programming Interfaces (API) are a fundamentally recognized term in all IT centric industries. All types of enterprises, it seems, from web-based merchants and service providers through to more traditional retailers and media companies, are today using APIs to allow them to collaborate more closely with external partners such as application developers and third-party service providers.

The mobile communications industry is no different in this respect. Carriers worldwide are recognizing that collaborating with partners using APs can be used to generate new sources of revenue, drive innovation, increase competitiveness and retain and attract new customers. Carriers have a vast array of assets they can leverage to drive incremental revenues. When these assets are integrated within innovative applications, they strengthen the value of the application and the end-user experience.

OEO vs. OOO: A Breakdown

Fiber Mountain's Glass Core has been recognized as an innovation in the data center space multiple times since its launch in 2014. The Glass Core is based on the company's Optical Path Exchange (OPX) product line, which provides a very low latency 5-nanosecond transit time. As we discuss applications for the OPX, many times we look at the merits of Optical-Electrical-Optical (OEO) and Optical-Optical-Optical (OOO) technology.

Low Latency Datacenter Networks - Why Nanoseconds Matter

A significant and important performance metric in any network is latency, or the time taken for information to be relayed from an input port to an output port.
