Communication has always been an essential part of business across many industries, and as the world expands its digital horizons, it’s no wonder that real-time communications (RTC) is already an essential part of many businesses. In fact, RTC technology is rapidly gaining popularity, and experts predict that its CAGR will be 21.6%, with a market value of $8.84 billion in 2022 and a market value of $8.84 billion in 2028. is expected to be $39.78 billion.
Empower employees to share and collaborate on ideas, enable customer service representatives to respond to inquiries, or connect maintenance personnel through remote guidance using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR). Whether it’s enabling employees to deal with equipment issues or providing instant assistance to remote workers, RTC offers many sectors the opportunity to quickly improve overall efficiency.
However, while RTC technology can certainly improve communication capabilities, there are still connectivity-related issues that need to be resolved before industries such as healthcare and emergency personnel can widely adopt this application. there is. Access to up-to-date information is undoubtedly important for first responders and paramedics in the field, but at the same time, connectivity issues can mean the difference between life and death.
For example, when conducting remote remote monitoring in the field, pausing, skipping, or disconnecting video or audio can prevent emergency responders and paramedics from getting all the information they need at critical moments. there is. Thankfully, at the dawn of the digital age, the wheels of innovation are constantly turning. The new advancement promises his RTC capabilities with the connectivity characteristics needed for the critical work performed by healthcare workers and other emergency responders.
Technology company Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) and network-enabled application enabler Shabodi recently partnered to prototype a groundbreaking mobile medicine application. Provides a secure and reliable communication channel between first responders and emergency medical personnel to provide situational awareness and remote expert guidance in emergency medical settings over primary 5G networks. Private 5G networks are important in military, defense, and tactical networks.
The application leverages Shabodi’s advanced network Application Enablement Platform (AEP) for network awareness, allowing Mobile Medic to dynamically change quality of service (QoS) in real-time, providing reliable, fast and critical We guarantee reliable communication. Network-enabled applications. Booz Allen, Shabodi, and his 5G Open Innovation Lab (OIL) teamed up to prototype the feature, test it, and demonstrate Mobile Medic’s capabilities.
Shabodi’s network-enabled AEP is the industry’s first for advanced networks (LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, etc.). It combines the capabilities of network service discovery, service catalog, orchestration, exposing RESTful network APIs to developers, and insights to simplify and accelerate the development, deployment, and management of network-enabled IIoT/IoT applications. AEPs are often SaaS-based, allowing companies to focus on their core competencies and create innovative solutions without spending excessive time and resources understanding complex network infrastructure standards and vendor intricacies. can.
In addition to enhanced cost savings, AEP provides many benefits to enterprises, including improved application performance, application portability, and security. However, in this case, the primary benefit of AEP that is leveraged is its ability to simplify the connectivity of devices from different network vendors, protocols, and different data formats into a single software interface. This ensures continuous connectivity, accurate data streaming, security across different devices, and harmonized data formats, regardless of location.
“Our partnership with Shabodi and 5G OIL to develop the Mobile Medic app exemplifies what innovation looks like when startups, venture capital-backed incubators, and technology integrators come together to create new applications,” said Booz Allen. said Chris Christou, Hamilton’s senior vice president. “By leveraging Shabodi’s Application Enablement Platform, our applications can prioritize and maintain critical communications during emergencies. Mobile His Medic is democratizing the emergency medical field and making it more reliable. I promise to do it.”
Shabodi’s AEP also provides network API exposure functionality. In connection with 5G, this refers to the ability of developers and third-party applications to access and utilize the functionality and services provided by the 5G network. Exposing network APIs enables the creation of innovative applications, services, and solutions that leverage the capabilities of 5G infrastructure.
A 5G-enabled network API publishing platform provides a robust platform for creating new services by consolidating APIs and providing unified access to API frameworks for both in-house and third-party developers. Provided to companies. Shabodi’s network API publishing capabilities enable organizations to create and orchestrate specialized network services on demand, allowing third-party developers and companies to create and orchestrate specialized network services with or through an extended ecosystem. Helps drive innovation.
Scott Waller, Chief Technology Officer of 5G OIL, said, “Our expertise in testing applications built for 5G networks combined with Booz Allen’s innovation leadership and Shabodi’s cutting-edge AEP We are excited to be able to contribute to the development of mobile medicine by combining these two technologies.” “There is no doubt that this will have a significant impact on the emergency medical response landscape.”
Key collaborators in this effort include Druid Software, which provided the 5G core, and Airspan Networks, which provided the radio access network (RAN) components. Both companies contributed key elements to the solution stack that enabled the Mobile Medic application.
Overall, the successful Mobile Medic prototype demonstrated the ability to dynamically change network QoS using Shabodi’s AEP for seamless communication between first responders and remote medical professionals. We have secured the minimum guaranteed bandwidth. This collaboration proves the transformative potential of 5G technology with network-enabled applications to save lives and improve the capabilities of critical personnel around the world.
“Our partnership with Booz Allen and 5G OIL demonstrates the power of network-enabled applications to transform the way emergency medical services are delivered. and revolutionize patient care in critical situations,” said Vikram Chopra. , Co-Founder and CEO of Shabodi. “5G is a game-changer for critical communications across sectors. Seeing this promise come to life with network-enabled mobile medicine apps is exactly why Shabodi exists. Together with Booz Allen, we I’m excited to be at the forefront of leading the change.”
