BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The GSMA today announces a new industry-wide initiative called GSMA Open Gateway, a framework of universal network Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs), designed to provide universal access to operator networks for developers.

  • And now, by federating open network APIs and applying the roaming concept of interoperability, mobile operators and cloud services will be truly integrated to enable a new world of opportunity.
  • This is achieved via common, northbound service APIs that simply expose mobile operators' network capabilities within a consistent, interoperable and federated framework.
