How identity is driving the market for network APIs
Network operators widely recognize that part of being competitive in a cloud-dominated market involves giving developers one set of APIs to access the services they need.
In 2023, GSMA’s Open Gateway Initiative was launched to do just that, providing a global program for network monetization with the Linux Foundation’s CAMARA project and TM Forum providing the standardized APIs. Then in 2024 a consortium of leading telecoms operators formed Aduna in association with Ericsson to accelerate the global commercialization of network APIs.
As Aduna rolls out GSMA Open Gateway-based APIs, we explore how far telcos have advanced in making network APIs easily accessible tools and where they are focusing their efforts.
Read this report to understand:
- What network APIs are and how Aduna, CAMARA, the GSMA and TM Forum are working together to develop them
- How Aduna intends to commericalize network APIs
- Which network API use cases hold the most promise for CSPs and why identity management leads the pack
- Why fintech use cases related to real-time payments, open banking and other finance industry trends are driving the market for network APIs.
