Use the app's registered quality thresholds to ask the operator whether the network can meet them now or at a future time. The operator responds for each threshold, with signal strength and connection technology included.
Network conditions are good, and all five of the app's quality thresholds can be met.
During peak hours, latency exceeds the threshold, while the other requirements are still met.
Include a future time to check the network's forecast for that time.
How it relates to Application ProfilesFirst register the thresholds with Application Profiles, then use the profile ID you receive to make the lookup.
SubscriptionA subscription version is also available: it sends a notification when the network's ability to meet the targets changes.
Connectivity Insights: How it works
- Register requirementsFirst register the app's quality thresholds with Application Profiles to get an applicationProfileId.
- Check qualitySend the device and applicationProfileId, with an optional application server and future time.
- Response for each thresholdFor each threshold, the response says “meets requirements” or “cannot meet requirements,” and can include signal strength and connection technology.
