Protocols

Connect with the protocol that fits.

From web-native to telecom-native, every scenario is covered.

REST

Standard JSON APIs for web and mobile applications with full CRUD operations and pagination.

WebSocket

Persistent bidirectional channels for live events, presence updates and real-time message delivery.

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol for VoIP call setup, routing and integration with PBX systems.

SMPP

High-throughput Short Message Peer-to-Peer for direct carrier connectivity and bulk messaging.

HTTP/2

Faster, more efficient connections with header compression and multiplexed request handling.

gRPC

Protocol-buffer based communication for microservice architectures that need low latency and strong typing.

Core capabilities

Secure, scalable and observable APIs.

Built for enterprise communication workloads.

Advanced security

OAuth 2.0 authentication, token management and end-to-end encryption protect every API transaction.

Intelligent load balancing

Traffic is distributed across global infrastructure to hold 99.99% uptime through sudden spikes.

Real-time analytics

Dashboards with instant insight into API performance, call quality metrics and traffic patterns.

Rate limiting & throttling

Granular rate control policies protect backend services and keep resource allocation fair across tenants.

Webhook management

Configure, monitor and retry webhooks with automatic failover and delivery logs for every event.

API versioning

Run multiple API versions with backward-compatible routing and deprecation notifications.

Request logging

Full request and response logging with searchable audit trails for debugging, compliance and forensics.

Global edge network

API calls are routed through the nearest edge location to minimise latency and maximise throughput.
