In a strategic move to expand access to advanced telecom capabilities, Nokia has made three key network APIs available on the Google Cloud Marketplace. These APIs – Quality of Service on Demand, Number Verification, and Device Location Verification – aim to simplify the creation of next-generation digital applications by integrating Nokia’s Network as Code platform into leading cloud ecosystems.
By listing its APIs on the Google Cloud Marketplace, Nokia is providing developers with streamlined access to reliable and standardized network functions. This eliminates the need to manage complex telecom infrastructure, allowing developers to incorporate real-time telecom data directly into applications through a familiar cloud-native environment. Nokia’s APIs leverage GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA open standards, ensuring interoperability and global reach via partnerships with communication service providers.
The Quality of Service on Demand API is tailored to support high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity on demand, making it ideal for scenarios like live broadcasts at large venues where consistent performance is crucial. The Number Verification API offers a streamlined method for businesses to authenticate users, particularly valuable for retail and financial services. The Device Location Verification API enables confirmation of a device’s physical location, enhancing security by matching the location of the device with the request origin to prevent fraudulent activity.
Overall, the collaboration between Nokia and Google Cloud Marketplace highlights the growing synergy between cloud providers and telecom operators. This integration connects the programmability of telecom networks with top-tier developer ecosystems, fostering global innovation in the digital services landscape. According to Shkumbin Hamiti, VP and Head of Nokia’s Network Monetization Platform, this partnership opens the door to new opportunities for secure, intelligent, and scalable tools to power the next wave of digital services.
