Infobip partners with mobile network operators to launch Camara-compliant APIs in Brazil
G lobal communications platform Infobip has partnered with three mobile network operators ( MNOs ) to launch the first Camara-compliant network APIs in Brazil – under the GSMA Open Gateway initiative . The collaboration is part of Infobip ’ s CPaaS enablement solution for telcos that allows them to easily launch and monetize their emerging services such as their core network capabilities being exposed through Camara APIs .
Infobip is collaborating with Brazilian MNOs Claro , TIM Brasil and Vivo ( Telefonica Brasil ) to offer the first Camara-compliant Number Verify , SIM Swap and Device Location APIs . Number Verify , the first of these APIs , aims to combat identity fraud by verifying the possession of end-user ’ s mobile phone number with the mobile network operator ’ s data connection . This collaboration is made possible by Infobip ’ s Open Gateway channel partner status , which enables brands and developers to integrate Camara-compliant APIs through one single point of access , Infobip ’ s cloud communications platform .
Open Gateway is a GSMA-led telco industry initiative that transforms telecommunications networks into standardized platforms exposed to developers based on a framework of APIs designed to provide digital services like Device Status , Device Location , Number
Verification and Quality on Demand . The initiative enables developers to break into new markets while customers benefit from new services and functionality .
Leonardo Siqueira , Data Monetization Director at TIM Brasil , commented : “ Our mission is to create a safer and more protected socio-economic environment . The development of these solutions rests on the strong assumption that through channel partners like Infobip , the expansion of this initiative will be fast and effective across various corporate ecosystems , leveraging opportunities and addressing diverse challenges .”
Debora Bortolasi , B2B Executive Director at Vivo , commented : “ The Open Gateway initiative is a milestone in the transformation of the telecommunications sector with a positive impact on 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 .”
Mijo Soldin , VP of Telecom Strategy at Infobip , emphasized : “ This collaboration demonstrates Infobip ’ s global marketleading 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 Camaracompliant 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 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 .”
Integrating Camara-compliant network APIs is one of the key steps in building Infobip ’ s CPaaS enablement solution for telecoms , together with its SMS Messaging Hub and RCS MaaP building blocks . Infobip ’ s CPaaS enablement solution , combined with the company ’ s strong connections with mobile network operators and the developer community , empowers telcos to simplify monetizing CPaaS opportunities in a more unified way . RCS MaaP can be used by operators to enable and monetize A2P RCS traffic via the Google platform . •
