Expanding Developer Access
This collaboration aims to bridge telecom and various industry sectors, allowing enterprises and operators to utilise API capabilities in areas such as network slicing, fraud prevention, and 5G private networks. Nokia's Network Exposure Platform and Enterprise API Hub will provide developers with access to Proximus Global’s 4G and 5G network capabilities.
Nokia said its Network Exposure Platform is an implementation of the GSMA Operator Platform, a standard for a common platform exposing operator capabilities to developers.
"Proximus Global has traditionally offered a rich set of communication API through our CPaaS offering. We aim now to complement these with network API to allow enterprise and developers to easily access network capabilities. Our collaboration with Nokia will strengthen our API capabilities, and the work we are doing with developers, all with the aim of providing Proximus Global enterprise and wholesale customers with new, value-added solutions," said the Chief Product Officer at Proximus Global, and CEO of Telesign.
