Open network APIs: CAMARA & Open Gateway Initiative
summary
Open-source project builds an intent-based API layer over existing telecom standards (3GPP, TM Forum) and is hosted at the Linux Foundation; it launches at MWC22 with 22 partners and now publishes 14+4 API families for location, device status, congestion, and quality-on-demand (latency/QoS) that can relocate apps to the nearest edge, influence fixed-line routing, and query cell performance. Deployments include 20+ live showcases, early-adopter programs in Spain/Germany/Brazil, and ~300 registered early adopters moving from lab tests to commercial pilots.
