Aduna, a landmark venture between some of the world’s leading telecom operators and Ericsson, is set to partner with Bridge Alliance to accelerate the adoption of CAMARA-based network Application Programming Interfaces .

The partnership with Bridge Alliance marks another first for Aduna by expanding its global ecosystem through partner program agreements. As growing numbers of Bridge Alliance members embrace network APIs, the new agreement will form the basis for Aduna to work with Bridge Alliance members.

In return, enterprise customers of Bridge Alliance members working with Aduna will be able to tap the benefits of Aduna’s global reach and rapidly growing mobile operator ecosystem. Aduna developer platform partners – including Google Cloud, InfoBip, Sinch and Vonage – will enjoy direct access to Bridge Alliance partner networks working with Aduna.

The new partnership will build on Aduna’s rapid momentum to drive and deliver true global scale in the network API ecosystem for developers and enterprises. In addition to vastly increasing the market reach for developers already working with Bridge Alliance – and adding substantial numbers to Aduna’s global developer ecosystem – the new partnership will also increase market reach for the millions of developers already in the Aduna ecosystem.

Dr. Ong Geok Chwee, CEO, Bridge Alliance, says: “This collaboration demonstrates the spirit of partnership that Bridge Alliance stands for. Together with Aduna, we are enabling a broader ecosystem of APIs. Enterprise customers will be able to consume telco APIs for their regional business with ease. More importantly, all parties benefit from our streamlined technical and commercial framework when working with network APIs.”

Anthony Bartolo, CEO, Aduna, says: “Aduna is at the forefront of changing the mobile connectivity industry and creating new monetization opportunities. Providing developers with ubiquitous access to open, programmable network functionality through common APIs will empower them to innovate at hyperscale. This partnership with Bridge Alliance accelerates Aduna’s aims by offering telecom operators and developers unparalleled access to harmonized network APIs across partners’ networks, while offering all Bridge Alliance members access to network APIs across Aduna global partner network.”

Launched in September 2024, Aduna combines and sells network APIs globally, with a vision that new applications will work anywhere, and on any network, paving the way for developers to innovate much more quickly and easily. Aduna’s partners already span significant coverage across mobile network markets globally.

Aduna and Bridge Alliance will also join forces in support of critical global standardization efforts (such as GSMA Open Gateway, CAMARA and TMF).

Network APIs are key to driving a new era of opportunity in the telecom industry. Easily accessible advanced network capabilities are empowering developers to create new use cases across multiple sectors.
