Orange organizes the Network APIs Drone Challenge. This event is tailored specifically for developers eager to push the boundaries of innovation (the “Challenge”).
ARTICLE 2 – PURPOSE OF THE CHALLENGE
The aim of the challenge is to answer three questions which replicate three critical phases of a real-life drone flight planning:
- Check the identity of the pilot
- Ensure the drone will not fly over too crowed areas
- Check the location of the drone to avoid GPS spoofing.
Participant will use the Orange Network API playground. The playground is a set of mocked APIs which behave as production APIs. This is a safe place to test Network APIs without impacting real-world data.
“Network APIs” are standardized interfaces offering agility, flexibility, and innovation, enabling developers to leverage real-time network data without needing deep telecommunications expertise.
