Vonage, a division of Ericsson, and Telstra have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to promote the digitalization of network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) within Australia’s enterprise sector.
This non-exclusive agreement will integrate Telstra’s network APIs into the Vonage platform, enabling enterprises and developers to harness these network capabilities for creating innovative, advanced applications and improving the customer experience.
The partnership not only supports Telstra’s T25 API leadership goals but also paves the way for new opportunities for Vonage throughout the broader Asia Pacific region.
Vonage and Telstra will collaborate on, and continue investing in, enhancing existing APIs, such as Silent Authentication - a new verification method that provides secure authentication without requiring users to input passwords or verification information.
Telstra and Vonage will also work together to identify new open APIs to bring to market such as slicing, edge computing, fraud and spam protections, and network analytical insights, while exploring the integration of Telstra’s APIs with Vonage’s API platform.
Niklas Heuveldop, Vonage CEO and Head of Business Area Global Communications Platform, Ericsson, says: "By combining Vonage’s API platform, Ericsson’s 5G network capabilities and Telstra’s network APIs, we are providing developers and enterprises with the tools they need to create new, secure, reliable and engaging solutions,”
