Ericsson and Mobily Unlock 5G’s Full Potential with QoS API Breakthrough
Mobily and Ericsson complete QoS API proof of concept, enabling 5G network customization, developer innovation, and enhanced user experiences in Saudi Arabia.
Ericsson has announced the successful completion of a proof of concept (PoC) demonstrating Quality-on- Service (QoS) capability exposure on Mobily’s 4G and 5G networks. This innovative collaboration reflects both companies’ commitment to fostering an ecosystem of digital innovation supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
The PoC is a result of a memorandum of understanding signed at LEAP 2024 and involved enabling Quality-of-Service Application Programming Interfaces (QoS APIs) on Ericsson’s Cloud Core Exposure Server (CCES), integrated with Ericsson’s Policy Controller. This advancement demonstrates Mobily’s readiness to allow external application developers to create robust services on its network, significantly enhancing user experience and driving new monetization opportunities.
With this new collaborative milestone, we are taking significant steps towards building a more programmable network. Our collaboration with Ericsson will empower application developers and enterprises to innovate and provide differentiated services that enhance customer experiences.
