In the world of connectivity, developers face the constant challenge of guaranteeing an optimal user experience, especially in environments with high data demands. At mass events such as concerts and festivals, and even in everyday places such as the home, where multiple devices share the bandwidth, the connection can face stability challenges and affect the user experience.
We’ve recently seen the development of Smart Mobile, a feature on the Mi Movistar app that allows users to improve their connection and enjoy better browsing due to its greater stability and responsiveness. All this has been possible thanks to Telefónica Open Gateway, the initiative with which we open up our networks through standardised APIs to offer advanced solutions such as Smart Mobile. In this case, the QoD Mobile API has been integrated to optimise mobile connectivity outside the home in real time and ensure a superior user experience, even in environments with high network congestion.
How does Smart Mobile work and where can it be used?
Sometimes, the fluency of the connection is challenged by different factors, such as downloading large files, consuming contents that demand a lot of bandwidth and attempting to browse from crowded events.
To address this challenge, Telefónica Open Gateway is providing developers with the QoD Mobile API, which allows them to control the quality of mobile connectivity. Its integration, among other things, enables applications to modify end users’ network settings for a certain period of time to better suit the needs of the moment or enable certain features of their products. Thus, new use cases can be developed and existing ones can be reinforced, ensuring proper functioning and a stable connection for users.
This is reflected in the Smart Mobile function available on the Mi Movistar app. Thanks to the QoD Mobile API, this tool has been added, enabling users to activate a less congested channel on the aerial at these critical times, ensuring a faster and more stable connection, even in situations with high data demands.
In addition to addressing mobile connectivity challenges in public environments, Telefónica Open Gateway provides other solutions to improve the connectivity experience in places such as the home with tools such as the QoD Wi-Fi API. It delivers more precise control over the quality of the service on devices connected to the home Wi-Fi network, enabling easier configuration and more effective management of on-demand connectivity.
