Telefónica has begun offering free access to its Open Gateway’s pre-commercial APIs. Three such APIs are currently available:
- Connectivity: enable control of service quality on mobile and Wi-Fi networks (throughput, latency, congestion).
- Fraud control: enable the obtaining of information for devices such as roaming status, approximate location, change of SIM and phone number verification.
- Payments: enable the ability to make payments charged to the carrier’s invoice.
Telefónica said developers will be able to test and validate selected use cases to generate end-to-end services for end customers (B2B and B2C). They will be able to experiment with high-performance network capabilities, including high-response and low-latency computing, to create applications of use to end users.
