PRM API is an integration solution that provides fiber network and service data to other OSS/BSS systems. It gives remote access to key information about network infrastructure and telecommunications service availability.
PRM API combines data from Physical Route Manager (PRM) and Physical Network Inventory (PNI) and makes it available in a consistent way to other OSS/BSS layers.
Thanks to PRM API, all business and operational systems of a telecommunications operator gain easy access to information about the physical and logical network.
From Customer Inquiry to Activation – End-to-End Automation with PRM API
PRM API supports the entire service delivery cycle, from availability inquiry to maintenance. What can you do with it?
While working in other systems (e.g., CRM or Field Service Management applications), you can perform the following sample tasks as part of service provisioning and delivery:
- check fiber availability for a specific address
- reserve a route between two points
- update service parameters
Ensure high service quality
- view technical details of active services
- in case of a failure, obtain a report on its impact on network performance directly from the integrated mobile application used by field technicians

Discover the Benefits
Consistent data across the entire ecosystem
PRM API provides easy access to consistent telecommunications service data for all key systems within your company, improving the efficiency of multiple departments. It also eliminates potential errors caused by duplicating data across different systems.
Automation and higher operational efficiency
It reduces the need for manual service availability checks in the PNI system. PRM API automates this process, freeing up your team’s resources for other tasks.
Fast service availability verification
PRM API enables immediate, preliminary assessment of service feasibility and accelerates the sales process.
FAQ: How Does PRM API Change the Approach to OSS/BSS?
Why connect PRM and PNI using PRM API?
You can easily access consistent information about the entire network—both physical and logical—directly from other OSS/BSS systems.
Does PRM API replace service management systems?
No. PRM API provides data to those systems (such as CRM or billing systems).
Can I still maintain separate systems for the physical and logical layers of the network?
Yes, but with PRM API you no longer need to copy data between them. This ensures that network data is always up to date and accessible, while minimizing potential data errors.
Does PRM API support service feasibility analysis and checking network load from active services?
Yes, these are key functions of PRM API.
