The standardised QoD Wi-Fi API can manage downstream traffic from residential access points to a device connected via Wi-Fi.
This solution offers control over the quality of service of devices connected to the Wi-Fi network on demand.
With the QoD Wi-Fi API you can configure and manage the quality of service of the devices connected to a single Wi-Fi network. In this way you can improve the user experience of the digital services inside your home.
You can also ensure greater control over the quality of service on demand, which is particularly useful for technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, cloud gaming and voice over IP.
The QoD Wi-Fi API can help you to specify the priority of data flows via the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point). This allows you to tag different types of traffic for the priority handling of critical data.
This consists of eight levels to classify traffic in keeping with its requirements and degree of importance. The API thus ensures that the data flows are handled appropriately and suited to the circumstances.
This helps to adapt the performance of the devices connected to a home Wi-Fi network to provide personalised Quality of Service (QoS). It offers accurate configuration control to ensure the user experience.
This standardised API makes it easier for you to optimise digital services in home environments by integrating the quality of service functions in an easier and more simple manner.
Thanks to the standardisation of this API, you can perform a single development that’s compatible with the capabilities of different operators. This ensures greater versatility and consistency when it comes to developing QoS functions in the home.
The QoD Wi-Fi API delivers straightforward customisation of the quality of service parameters. In this regard, users can configure their devices without the need for any technical knowledge. This enables you to offer a smoother and more effective experience on the home network.
Remote working without any complications
New needs have arisen among users with the increase in remote working. It makes greater use of the home Wi-Fi network, which may have a detrimental effect on the quality of the connection. The QoD Wi-Fi API can design distinctive solutions to deliver a premium remote working experience, offering video call services with fewer interruptions, improved streaming broadcasts, applications with a higher performance and dynamic control over the network’s connectivity.

Uninterrumped online gaming
Performance when playing online games at home is key to a good user in-game experience. Smart WiFi is a Movistar service that allows you to manage the connection of the different devices in a home connected to a Wi-Fi network. Thanks to the integration of the QoD Wi-Fi API, Smart WiFi can interact with the network in real time to configure appropriate gaming parameters for better signal stability. This means offering premium-quality home connectivity to enhance users’ gaming experiences.
Enhanced immersive entertainment
Movistar Experiencia Inmersiva is a virtual space accessible through Meta Quest in which users can enjoy exclusive Movistar Plus+ content and live immersive sports. Stable and frictionless connectivity is required to enjoy these kinds of events with sufficient quality. The integration of the QoD Wi-Fi API can prioritise a device connected to the 5G Wi-Fi network in the home for a seamless connection. In other words, it provides an experience within the Metaverse that allows users to enjoy the sport in a fully immersive manner and with greater quality.
It exposes the control of users mobile connectivity. This enables the development of new functionalities and services that require more precise control of connectivity.
