At TADHack Global in June James Tagg, founder and CTO of Truphone, announced their plan for the Open Source Communications Framework (OSCF) API, see end of this weblog for the keynote presentation. James Tagg will at TADSummit in November put much more flesh around the bones of that announcement in his keynote and throughout TADSummit. It is by far the most complete telco API ever offered. Putting to shame the vainglorious attempts of standards institutions and ineffective trade bodies.
Part of Truphone’s secret sauce comes from the Truphone SIM:
- Multi IMSI
- Multi user profiles (All concurrent)
- Only one IMSI active at one time
- ALL user profiles mapped to currently active IMSI
- ARM Processor
- Executes applications independently from UE
- Uses signaling channel (always on)
BUT the capabilities offer in the OSCF API are what’s exciting, see the list below. International enterprise can run their business on a mobile network without expensive network trolls demanding their toll, IoT / M2M providers now have an inexpensive one stop shop for their global network, small and medium sized international businesses have an end to being screwed on international roaming, the list goes on. TADSummit will show you an alternative reality for telecoms, that soon will become reality. You can not afford to miss TADSummit.
