Aduna announced at Mobile World Congress 2026 that its network‑API platform now partners with 15 digital‑identity, fraud‑prevention and communications providers, expanding its ecosystem. The joint‑venture, originally launched by Ericsson and 12 major operators, now offers CAMARA‑based APIs in six countries and plans rollouts in Australia, Brazil, India and more, reaching a total of 40 mobile operators. A 2025 partnership with Comviva brings these APIs to AWS, giving enterprises cloud‑native access to standardized telecom capabilities. The moves signal rapid scaling of a global Network API economy.
The telecom industry has long grappled with fragmented interfaces that force developers to write carrier‑specific code. Open‑source initiatives like CAMARA, backed by the GSMA and the Linux Foundation, aim to unify these interfaces into a single, interoperable API layer. Aduna, a joint venture of Ericsson and leading operators, positions itself as the marketplace for these standardized services, offering a single point of entry for developers seeking to tap into network functions such as location, authentication and messaging.
At MWC 2026, Aduna highlighted a significant ecosystem expansion: fifteen new partners spanning digital identity, fraud prevention and communications have joined, and the platform now serves 40 operators across the United States, Germany, Spain, Canada, France and the Netherlands. The upcoming rollout to Australia, Brazil, India, Greece, Singapore, Thailand and the United Kingdom will push coverage to virtually every major market. Integration with AWS via the Comviva partnership further simplifies access, allowing enterprises to consume network APIs through familiar cloud tools, accelerate time‑to‑market, and reduce operational overhead.
For the broader market, Aduna’s growth underscores a shift toward monetizing network capabilities as reusable services rather than proprietary assets. By abstracting carrier complexity, the platform enables new business models—from fintech to IoT—while opening new revenue streams for operators. As more hyperscalers and digital‑native firms adopt these APIs, the competitive landscape will increasingly reward those who can rapidly innovate on standardized, cloud‑ready telecom functions, positioning Aduna as a pivotal enabler of the next wave of digital services.
