GSMA CAMARA Open-network APIs Deployed by Ooredoo, First in MENA Region

By utilizing 5G and IoT technologies, Ooredoo Group has become the first operator in the MENA region to deploy the GSMA CAMARA open-network APIs.

This creative move solidifies Ooredoo's position as a top provider of digital services by offering unparalleled personalization and creating new opportunities for users, developers, and companies.

With strong security and privacy, the GSMA CAMARA APIs provide a standardized, developer-friendly method of gaining access to cutting-edge telecom network features like edge computing and silent authentication services. These APIs make integration easier and provide complex, dependable, and scalable global services by facilitating interoperability across networks.

Ooredoo’s collaboration with GSMA Open Gateway and TMF APIs establishes a global standard for seamless integration between telecom networks.

Together, these APIs enable developers and businesses to access advanced telecommunications capabilities through an open and federated marketplace, encouraging, innovation and streamlining the delivery of services like Anti-Fraud, Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), and Data-as-a-Service (DaaS).

The initiative has already launched in Ooredoo Maldives, where the CAMARA SIM Swap API and One-Time Password (OTP) API have been certified. It will soon be expanded across the Group’s footprint, including Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Algeria, Tunisia, Palestine, and Iraq.

Last year, Ooredoo Group was awarded the Gold tier in the ‘TM Forum Conformance Certification Program’ for completing conformance certification for over 10 real-world Open API implementations, further affirming its leadership in advancing telecom standards.
