Use cases

Smart transport services

As cities adopt smart solutions, the mobility sector plays a crucial role in providing more efficient transport services. Carrier Billing offers an alternative payment method for various mobility services, such as ridesharing, public transport, bicycles and parking, where users can easily pay via their phone bill, thus eliminating the need for separate payment cards or cash. The Carrier Billing API enables seamless integration with mobility service providers, ensuring a convenient and secure payment experience for users.

Carrier Billing, used in conjunction with the Location Verification API, also allows you to verify whether a rented vehicle is being used by the person who made the booking, checking the location of both in real time.

More efficient toll systems

Tolls based on traditional payment systems, such as credit cards or cash, can cause delays and congestion due to manual handling of transactions. The Carrier Billing API offers users a simplified payment system, allowing them to associate their phone number to complete the transaction by confirming the payment via their mobile phone. This reduces toll booth waiting times and congestion.

Used in conjunction with the Location Verification API, the location of the device where the transaction is being made can be verified, offering users a more secure experience.

Digitalisation of industry 4.0

Industry and the manufacturing sector have shown a continuous growth trend in recent years, thanks to digitalisation and automation. These processes pose many challenges to this type of business, such as the flexible production of customised products, electrification of industries, reliable supply chain tracking or drone delivery. Video playback capability and constant real-time connectivity are key to the successful development of such processes, applied, for example, to the evolution of digital twins, drone control and automated surveillance systems with robots and AGVs. The QoD Mobile API provides the ability to interact with the network in real time to facilitate better traffic quality and more reliable and consistent connectivity.

APIs used

QoD Mobile API

Avoid unexpected roaming charges

When it comes to managing mobile phone costs, every penny counts. The Device Status API facilitates real-time monitoring of the roaming status of your SIM card, ensuring that you never receive unpleasant surprises via your phone bill. This allows you to manage your data usage and explore cost-effective roaming options during a trip.

Effective connection with users in roaming status

Integrating the Device Status API enables companies and government bodies to maintain an effective connection with their users in roaming status. As they can verify the SIM roaming status of their users, they can send alerts and share relevant information in a timely manner, thus ensuring that their messages reach the right recipients. This maintains an open line of communication with users for sharing vital information and important updates.

Collecting valuable data from users in roaming status

Understanding users’ behaviour in their home country and beyond is key to enabling companies to improve their services and identifying emerging trends. The Device Status API can collect these data, which reveal, for example, the most popular travel destinations among users, peak times of activity, preferences for certain services and applications and usage discrepancies between different regions, in order to enrich services and improve the user experience.

Case studies

Connected transport routes

Frete.com is the largest road freight transport platform in Latin America. Capitalising on advances in technology and the digital transformation, it's seeking to streamline and secure its onboarding processes. The integration of the Know Your Customer - Match API has enabled it to validate the identities of drivers during registration, verifying data such as the CPF (Brazilian ID card) and mobile phone number. It thus secures safer transport routes without undermining the quality of the user experience.

Flight path planning for drones

U-Space is the digital and regulatory ecosystem that will enable the safe and efficient integration of drones into our airspace. To assist their deployment, flight planning is essential. With the integration of the Dynamic Airspace Connectivity Data and Population Density Data APIs, drone operators will be able to know the altitude connectivity along a route and the population density it will fly over. The QoD Mobile API allows the network quality to be optimised during flight and correct video transmission to be insured. In this way, APIs increase the efficiency of operations, reduce the need for human intervention and increase safety.
