Aduna partners with Sinch to expand 5G network API ecosystem

Aduna, a joint venture between Sweden’s Ericsson and leading global telecom operators, has partnered with cloud communications (CPaaS) provider Sinch to widen developers’ access to network application programming interfaces (APIs) to drive 5G monetisation.

Through its initial developer platform partners, including Google Cloud, Vonage and now with Sinch, Aduna will further bolster the ecosystem for network API innovation, enhancing the reach and effectiveness of network services, Ericsson said on Tuesday.

Sinch’s network APIs enable businesses to integrate capabilities such as voice, video, and verification services into applications, websites and systems.

Sinch will expand its coverage of Number Verify through its omnichannel Verification API, as well as, enhance the trust and safety for its customers and their users through the rollout of services, such as the SIM Swap API. By adding Aduna as a preferred partner, Sinch will be able to take a significant step towards delivering solutions and services to enterprises globally, Ericsson said.

“Our partnership with Aduna marks a significant advancement in the development and adoption of network APIs. By working together, we will empower enterprises to enhance security and streamline critical services such as two-factor authentication,” said Sean O’Neal, Chief Product Officer at Sinch.

“The planned integration of Sinch’s expertise and reach will enable developers across leading platforms to access advanced network capabilities globally via common APIs. Aduna’s mission is to accelerate digital transformation across businesses and society, and we are excited to partner with Sinch as we expand the network API ecosystem,” said Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna.
