Debora Bortolasi , B2B Executive Director at Vivo , said : “ The Open Gateway initiative is a milestone in the transformation of the telecommunications sector , with a positive impact on the security of several industries in the market , as it enables the conversion of communications networks into programmable digital platforms through global and standardized APIs , benefiting a large digital ecosystem from startups to large companies .”
Mats Granryd , Director General of the GSMA , said : “ Through the GSMA Open Gateway initiative , Brazil ’ s mobile operators are leading the way , helping enterprise developers and cloud providers launch new services to tackle fraud and improve digital security . By taking this approach we can ensure new digital services not only work seamlessly across all of Brazil ’ s mobile networks , but also hundreds of others around the world . Next year we will see more and more Brazilians benefit from the launch of these APIs , making them feel more at ease knowing their mobile services are more secure .”
As an innovative company and GSMA Open Gateway channel partner , we will continue to build and offer additional CAMARAcompliant APIs .
For these first set of APIs , local operators collaborated with strategic partners Infobip as technical integrator and Microsoft Azure as services platform provider .
Mijo Soldin , Vice President of Telecom Strategy at Infobip , said : “ This collaboration demonstrates Infobip ’ s global market leading CPaaS position , our strong developer relations alongside our history of strategic telco collaborations . All are essential to increase the potential for a successful collaboration and faster time to revenue . The launch of the CAMARA-compliant API in Brazil marks an important step for Infobip , helping to democratize the messaging ecosystem globally , hand in hand with telcos . As an innovative company and GSMA Open Gateway channel partner , we will continue to build and offer additional CAMARA-compliant APIs , working closely with our telco partners to expose customer experience-friendly APIs to developers .”
Ross Ortega , Vice President , Program Management , Microsoft , said : “ Microsoft is proud to continue building a strong relationship with GSMA Open Gateway , embracing a future where Modern Connected Applications and advanced networks seamlessly converge . Our commitment to standardization simplifies the software developer experience . Developers can take full advantage of the network without the need to customize their applications for a given network or themselves to become networking experts . We ’ re committed to working with GSMA Open Gateway and operators to expose networking capabilities enabling a new generation of applications .”
GSMA Open Gateway APIs are defined , developed and published in CAMARA , the open-source project for developers to access enhanced network capabilities , driven by the Linux Foundation in collaboration with the GSMA . All three APIs presented by Brazilian operators were expected to be individually commercially available by the end of 2023 . The GSMA Open Gateway ecosystem in Brazil is set for significant enhancement in 2024 , with new partners NTT Data and Vonage , a part of Ericsson , joining the initiative . •
