The initiative aims to allow application providers and enterprises to mobile-enable their applications and services across multiple operators. The GSMA will be promoting the adoption of a set of APIs to provide application developers with access to mobile operator network capabilities. Initially, the GSMA’s OneAPI initiative will focus on exposing mobile network capabilities including payment, messaging and location.
Aepona, a global provider of telecoms software products and services has been selected by the GSMA to provide its Universal Service Platform (USP), as well as managed services to connect to the three operators in a hosted environment. Aepona’s USP provides exposure of network and payment APIs, partner portal, multi-party settlement, centralised partner management, policy control, routing and privacy management.
The Canadian pilot will also implement the GSMA’s number translation service, called PathFinder, to determine which operator to send the OneAPI call to while allowing for number portability.
