Telefónica has joined forces with 20 other telecommunications operators to create
Open Gateway
, an initiative with which they seek to make their networks profitable.
Signed within the framework of the GSMA mobile operator organization chaired by José María Álvarez Pallete, the agreement will open up network functions to developers through APIs.
The aforementioned APIs are lines of information exchange code, applicable to game development, the
fintech
world or smart mobility.
And what the operators will do is create a common platform, which they will make available to the developers and which
will allow them to have an additional revenue line
.
"Telcos have come a long way in developing a global platform to connect everyone and everything. And now, by federating open network APIs and applying the concept of interoperability roaming, mobile operators and services
on
the cloud will be truly integrated to allow
a new world of opportunities
", pointed out Álvarez Pallete, who this Monday participated in the first day of the Mobile World Congress that this week is being held in Barcelona.
