A Changing Role for Telcos

Telcos now become key partners in the creation of digital services, accelerating development and innovation with a focus on open innovation.

What is Open Gateway?

Open Gateway, a GSMA-led initiative, is revolutionising telecommunications networks. It opens telco capabilities through global, standardised APIs, under the framework of CAMERA (an open source project supported by the Linux Foundation and TM Forum in collaboration with the GSMA).

Infinite Opportunities

OpenGateway not only simplifies and streamlines development, but also opens the door to new business opportunities in diverse industries, from fintech to entertainment, promoting enriching experiences.

Security and privacy at the core

By prioritising security, we verify that applications comply with security requirements to protect users. In addition, we are committed to privacy and data protection, providing transparency and customer control.

Committed to Sustainability

Open Gateway not only drives innovation, but also makes efficient use of the network and reduces resource consumption, contributing to sustainability.

Collaboration, innovation and accountability are key to leadership. Democratising access to network capabilities is the key for experience creators, regardless of the size of their company, to drive next generation services. Telefónica has taken a leadership role within the GSMA Open Gateway and is bringing this vision to reality.

A compatible development for all telcos

The network becomes a crucial asset for the development of digital products and services. With Open Gateway, telcos are coming together to open up networks to developers, enabling a single compatible development for all telcos and turning networks into future-ready platforms.

Open Gateway is an initiative that accelerates the development of new services in industries such as Fintech, Digital Identity, Anti-fraud, Smart mobility, Gaming, Web3, Metaverse and Communications.

The key to innovation

Open Gateway APIs empower networks, allowing developers to connect applications to networks easily and quickly. These capabilities are exposed through global, standardised APIs under the CAMERA framework, driving new opportunities for innovation.

Telefónica offers a set of standardised, automated and on-demand APIs. The Developer Hub allows access to the API catalogue, testing tools, validating use cases and obtaining exclusive resources to explore the full potential of the project, with technical support throughout the process.
