Telkomsel is a leading player in implementing CAMARA APIs in the
market as part of the global GSMA Open Gateway initiative. This
standardization initiative aims to provide developers and

seamless functionality of network APIs with operator networks.
In facilitating access to network APIs for developers and
enterprises, Telkomsel has launched Digihub, a platform that
provides access to Telkomsel's network APIs. Digihub opens up
opportunities for the development and growth of innovative digital
service solutions by providing easy access to Telkomsel's APIs,
enabling businesses to explore new possibilities for innovation and
expand their range of digital services.
Vonage's communications and network APIs make it easy for
developers to embed communications capabilities into applications,
systems, and workflows. Together with Telkomsel's Digihub network
API capabilities, both companies plan to collaborate to enable
developers to build advanced, secure, reliable, and innovative
applications by exposing 5G and converged capabilities through
APIs. This will drive an ecosystem for open innovation and deliver
new services and solutions to optimize application performance,
create new applications, and drive better customer experiences.
Telkomsel will also accelerate developer adoption by providing
its network APIs through Vonage's global first-to-market service,
the Vonage Network Registry, to deliver business solutions to
market faster. The service will also facilitate CSPs in effectively
scaling the consumption of network APIs by simplifying and
standardizing the approval process and granting access to network
providers' APIs for Application Service Providers (ASPs).
