Fibre Cafe : Supplier API (1.15)

Introduction

The Fibre Cafe is a scalable, unified platform to support L2C provisioning, in-life modification/cease and T2R trouble resolution between communication providers (CP) and network operators or aggregators.

CPs are known as 'tenants' on the Fibre Cafe and communicate with the Fibre Cafe's Tenant API. The network operators and aggregators providing the underlying services are known as 'suppliers' and provide the Supplier API.

Each supplier is responsible for implementing this southbound API specification for the Fibre Cafe to retrieve available services and support appointing and order management.

Note: Order updates (KCIs) must be sent to the Supplier Updates API hosted by the Fibre Cafe. __
