This will accelerate digital transformation by driving innovation in new services and improving the digital experience across industry sectors. The APIs provide access to useful network features, enabling users to retrieve specific information from the network or configure it to meet certain quality parameters (network programmability), such as Quality on Demand (QoD) API. In the past, this market was fragmented, with each operator offering proprietary interfaces, which did not lead to wider acceptance because it made it difficult for developers to build scalable services that could work across different networks. The GSMA Open Gateway, a global initiative, aims to solve this problem by standardising APIs that wo...
