The ‘new entrant’ US operator is strutting its stuff with eight vendors in Las Vegas
DISH Wireless is at the AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas and will show how it can expose its 5G network, launched in June, to the developer community via APIs. The aim is to inspire others to develop apps that leverage those capabilities and functions.
DISH has launched an online hub to foster engagement with the developer community and is working with eight vendors at the event whose software, it is said, can be used with the APIs to create new applications which will be demonstrated.
They are Cisco, Confluent, IBM, Macrometa, Oracle, Palantir, Swim and Totogi, according to a statement from the latter.
DISH Wireless won the mandate to create a national 5G network as a condition of T-Mobile acquiring a controlling stake in Sprint. The deal was sealed in 2020 after two years’ wrangling and regulators and others addressing concerns about less competition harming consumers’ interests.
