Imagine a world where you are able to “interact” directly with a 5G network requesting for network resources like latency, bandwidth change or specialized networks on-demand through a simple API call. Programable networks are very complex to work with and while these capabilities are traditionally closed off to 3rd party developers, Network as Code gets rid of the complexity and exposes the capabilities to developers enabling innovation and the creation of new value. During this session you will be introduced to some real-world application examples and how you can very easily use Network as Code APIs and SDK to tap into these network capabilities to build or enhance your applications.
