Intelligent Automation Platform Ecosystem

Providing the best developer experience for building rApps

EIAP Ecosystem

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform Ecosystem (EIAP Ecosystem) empowers developers with all the capabilities needed to build, validate, share and operate automation applications, known as rApps.

What is the EIAP Ecosystem?

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP) Ecosystem is an open structure of key assets, services and infrastructure that enables rApps developers to leverage the capability of the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform to independently develop high-quality and high-value automation applications.

As an open Ecosystem, it enables Ericsson, Communication Service Provider (CSPs) and third-party developers to build rApps that most closely match their individual needs.

The EIAP Ecosystem allows their members to innovate, accelerate and collaborate to create cutting edge RAN automation applications in a rapid and simplified way.

Components of EIAP ecosystem

The Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform ecosystem has five key components to support rApp developers.

he components of the EIAP Ecosystem: rApp Directory, Developer portal, assistant and community and test resources.

Is the single-entry point for rApps developers. State-of-the-art web-based front-end which enables access to all the developer resources, intuitive, easy to navigate and continuously updated with the latest EIAP capabilities

The rApp Developer Assistant is an AI powered tool that support the developers in the creation of rApps simplifying the development process.

The EIAP ecosystem stimulates the developer interactions and collaborative work by means of a Community of Practice and support forums. Access to Dev-to-Dev technical support for direct developer communication and feedback channel are available

Provides all necessary resources required to test and validate the rApps. Possibility to order an as-a-Service test environment with EIAP and access to a variety of network data

The rApp Directory allows you to discover new rApps, explore their functionality and connect with the rApps owners. The rApp Directory operates in a common, open way for all ecosystem members offering them the potential to showcase their rApp innovation and offerings.

rApp Certification service

The rApp Certification is a service offered by Ericsson to third party companies developing rApps to ensure that their rApps are compliant with Ericsson Security, Data Privacy and Platform Interoperability requirements.

The rApp certification bring value for both, rApps developers and rApps consumers as it ensures:

  • Development and deployment of high-quality rApps
  • The rApps is both secure and privacy preserving
  • Cost reductions by reducing integration challenges and speeding up rApp deployment
