AT&T to make Vonage communications and
network APIs available to help developers drive scalability and
business case development together with enhanced security
HOLMDEL,
N.J., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Vonage, a global leader in cloud communications helping
businesses accelerate their digital transformation and a part of
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), today announced an intent to collaborate
with American multinational telecommunications operator,
AT&T, to expand the power of the network for developers
and enterprises through APIs.
By combining AT&T's API-enabled network capabilities with
Vonage's communications and network APIs, the companies are
collaborating to drive the creation of an innovative ecosystem by
exposing network capabilities through APIs to deliver new services
and solutions to enterprises optimizing application performance and
creating new applications and use cases to drive better customer
experiences.
Vonage's communications and network APIs make it easy for
developers to embed communications capabilities into applications,
systems and workflows. With AT&T's network leadership, together
they plan to enable developers to build advanced secure, reliable
and innovative applications by exposing 5G capabilities through
APIs in support of driving an ecosystem for open innovation.
AT&T will make user-friendly communications and network APIs
available to a broad community of developers to drive scalability
and business case development together with enhanced security.
These will include standardised CAMARA APIs, such as Vonage Number
Verification API, which will deliver secure and reliable
authentication of a mobile device in real-time, helping to protect
users and businesses from fraud without burdening the
user or interrupting the sign-in process. Additionally, the
AT&T Device Access API provides more security to mobile phones
through Single-Sign-On, and the Vonage SIM Swap API will enable
developers to integrate SIM swap detection and management
functionality into their applications, enhancing security by
identifying potentially fraudulent activity and providing an
additional layer of protection.
"AT&T has been on a network transformation journey for many
years, and our network has become a powerful platform for
innovation," Yigal Elbaz, Senior
Vice President Network CTO, AT&T. "We are excited to invite
developer communities to take advantage of these new network
capabilities. Vonage is a wonderful collaborator in this endeavor,
thanks to its robust and engaged developer community and market
leading communication API capabilities. We look forward to working
with application service providers that can build innovative new
solutions and co-create new areas of value for our customers
through AT&T's network."
"We are excited to announce our collaboration with AT&T,"
Savinay Berry, Executive Vice
President of Product and Engineering, Vonage. "By combining our
global communications and network APIs with AT&T's mobile
application development solutions, we will be able to together
deliver innovative new services and capabilities to enterprises and
end users, while accelerating innovation for the network. We expect
the demand for new services, innovations and value creation enabled
by 5G to grow significantly over the coming years."
