WSO2 has launched its first Digital Enablement Hub WSO2.Telco in India, following the 2015 launch of its Singapore Hub and a dedicated Hub for the Axiata Group. The cloud-ready, API-driven WSO2.Telco platform is designed to empower mobile network operators (MNOs) with an agile collaboration layer with Web-centric APIs for building and leveraging partnerships across the mobile ecosystem.
The launch of WSO2.Telco's Hub gives MNOs, enterprises and developers in India a single point of integration, creating a simple, agile digital services ecosystem.
The Hub will be offered on a subscription basis and allows MNOs and enterprises to expose, manage and orchestrate multiple network services. WSO2.Telco's Digital Enablement Hubs include a digital identity module which provides features such as single sign-on, federated identity and secure authentication. For MNOs the platform provides the ability to offer Identity as a Service (IDaaS) and can integrate with existing internal identity systems and authentication channels seamlessly.

Transformation doesn't happen overnight, but it certainly won't happen quickly in India unless a change happens in how regulated entities do business. Rigorous processes and integrations handled in silos have slowed innovation and increased costs and go-to-market time.
Kumi Thiruchelvam, CEO of WSO2.Telco
Our platform provides a simple and cost-effective way for operators to immediately accelerate digital transformation and open the way for new and innovative services.
