GSMA Open Gateway launch in Germany: mobile operators open up new business models with network API launch

Written by WS Team | Feb 29, 2024 11:18:09 AM

Deutsche Telekom, O2 Telefónica and Vodafone are launching SIM Swap and Number Verify APIs
on the Vonage platform tackling online fraud and are also working with Siemens Energy on
Augmented Reality Quality-On-Demand tests.

As part of the global GSMA Open Gateway initiative, Germany's three main mobile operators – Deutsche Telekom, O2 Telefónica and Vodafone – today announced the commercial launch of a
new service designed to help app developers and enterprises tackle online fraud and protect the
digital identities of mobile customers.


The network APIs represent a new business model for the German operators by bringing these
network capabilities to developers and enterprises to improve existing services or create new
services. The German mobile industry expects today's announcement to accelerate the growth of
digital services and apps, by ensuring they integrate seamlessly with national mobile networks, as
well as hundreds of others around the world.


The three operators are working with technology partner Vonage, part of Ericsson, to make the
APIs available to enterprise developers. Vonage is already working together with its customer,
Vinted, Europe's leading international online C2C marketplace dedicated to second-hand fashion,
to integrate these new APIs.
