- Parlay X
Parlay X is set of
Web service APIs for thetelephone network (fixed and mobile.)It enables software developers to use the capabilities of a underlying network. The APIs are deliberately high level abstractions and designed to be simple to use. An application developer can, for example, invoke a single Web Service request to get the location of a mobile device or initiate a telephone call.
The Parlay X Web services are defined jointly by ETSI, the Parlay Group, and the Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP).
The APIs are defined using Web Service technology: interfaces are defined using WSDL 1.1 and conform with
Web Services Interoperability (WS-I Basic Profile ).The APIs are published as a set of specifications.
In general Parlay X provides an abstraction of functionality exposed by the more complex, but functionally richer
Parlay APIs. ETSI provide a set of (informative not normative) Parlay X to Parlay mapping documents.Parlay X services have been rolled out by a number of telecom operators, including BT, Korea Telecom, T-Com, Mobilekom and Sprint.
