Unlocking Telco APIs: How Open Source Is Driving Standardization & Interoperabili...
summary
CAMARA builds concrete telco APIs (example SIM swap API) with full docs, YAML/Swagger and code samples, and a GSMA public map to find commercial endpoints at AT&T, T‑Mobile, Verizon. The project launched 2021 and now lists ~1,300 contributors from ~500 companies; GSMA Open Gateway plus CAMARA already cover 70–80% of global mobile connections. Operators expose APIs via vendor implementations (Ericsson, Nokia, Napstra, Chaboti), an Aduna aggregator is live, and the platform enforces consent, capacity controls and monetization — production-ready and commercially available.
