Vonage, a global leader in cloud communications helping businesses accelerate their digital transformation and a part of Ericsson, has announced a plan to collaborate with Telkomsel, a leading Indonesian digital telecommunications company, to expand the power of the network for developers, enterprises, and Communications Service Providers (CSPs) through APIs.
Telkomsel is a leading player in implementing CAMARA APIs in the market as part of the global GSMA Open Gateway initiative. This standardization initiative aims to provide developers and enterprises with universal access to operator networks by enabling seamless functionality of network APIs with operator networks.
In facilitating access to network APIs for developers and enterprises, Telkomsel has launched Digihub, a platform that provides access to Telkomsel's network APIs. Digihub opens up opportunities for the development and growth of innovative digital service solutions by providing easy access to Telkomsel's APIs, enabling businesses to explore new possibilities for innovation and expand their range of digital services.
Vonage's communications and network APIs make it easy for developers to embed communications capabilities into applications, systems, and workflows. Together with Telkomsel's Digihub network API capabilities, both companies plan to collaborate to enable developers to build advanced, secure, reliable, and innovative applications by exposing 5G and converged capabilities through APIs. This will drive an ecosystem for open innovation and deliver new services and solutions to optimize application performance, create new applications, and drive better customer experiences.
Telkomsel will also accelerate developer adoption by providing its network APIs through Vonage's global first-to-market service, the Vonage Network Registry, to deliver business solutions to market faster. The service will also facilitate CSPs in effectively scaling the consumption of network APIs by simplifying and standardizing the approval process and granting access to network providers' APIs for Application Service Providers (ASPs).
