Nokia has recently unveiled three important network APIs—Quality of Service on Demand, Number Verification, and Device Location Verification—now accessible on the Google Cloud Marketplace. This strategic move aims to enhance the capabilities of developers worldwide by offering advanced telecom functionalities.
By making these APIs available, Nokia seeks to facilitate smoother integration of telecom capabilities into applications without the burden of managing intricate telecom infrastructure. Developers can leverage real-time telecom data directly within a familiar cloud-native framework, promoting the swift creation of secure and high-performance services. The APIs adhere to GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA open standards, ensuring they are interoperable and widely usable through Nokia’s various partnerships with communication service providers.
The Quality of Service on Demand API is particularly noteworthy as it enables high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity on an as-needed basis. This feature is particularly useful in settings such as live broadcasts where consistent network performance is essential. Developers are able to automatically request guaranteed network performance for specific periods and purposes.
Nokia’s Number Verification API simplifies user authentication, especially for industries like retail and finance. It ensures that mobile numbers are authentically linked to the users making transactions or access requests, serving as a guard against identity fraud.
The Device Location Verification API adds another layer of security by confirming a device’s physical location. This can be crucial for validating transactions or service requests that may pose a higher risk, effectively mitigating the chances of fraudulent activities by aligning the device’s location with the request origin.
Shkumbin Hamiti, VP and Head of Nokia’s Network Monetization Platform, emphasized the significance of this integration, noting, “By exposing our APIs through Google Cloud Marketplace, we’re connecting the programmability of telecom networks with top-tier developer ecosystems, opening the door to global innovation.”
This initiative reflects an increasingly synergistic relationship between cloud providers and telecom operators. Muninder Singh Sambi, VP and GM of Networking and Security at Google Cloud, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the immense potential at the intersection of telecommunications and cloud innovation, as it offers developers secure and scalable tools to drive the future of digital services.
