The GSMA Open Gateway initiative is continuing to gather pace with three more of the world\u2019s largest operators, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, now signed-up to the global industry framework designed to help accelerate digital services and mobile apps.<\/p>\n

GSMA Open Gateway is an industry-wide initiative to help developers and cloud providers collaborate with mobile operators through a framework of open network Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs), designed to provide universal access to operator networks across all continents spanning from North America to Australia, Norway to Argentina. By doing so the industry will be able to create, enhance and bring new digital services and immersive technologies to market faster and to a wider global customer base.<\/p>\n

At a joint signing ceremony ahead of MWC Shanghai, the three operators China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom demonstrated their commitment to collaborate on the open network API framework, meaning the initiative is now\u00a0<\/em>supported by 29 mobile network operators, representing around 60% of mobile connections\u00a0worldwide.<\/p>\n

The global initiative, which launched with eight proofs of concept in February, has already grown to 23. The APIs developed through early adopter programmes cover everything from device location and SIM swap to combat online financial crime, through to Quality on Demand to deliver more immersive gaming experiences and enable drones to carry out data intensive missions safely.<\/p>\n

Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA, said,\u201cAround the world, we\u2019re gaining critical mass\u00a0from east to west, north to south.\u00a0China\u00a0represents the largest 5G market in the world,\u00a0so having China\u2019s three largest operators\u00a0committed\u00a0to this initiative\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0its\u00a0global\u00a0significance\u00a0and the\u00a0strong business case\u00a0itoffers. In the same way we helped\u00a0harmonise mobile voice services and enable roaming\u00a035 years ago,\u00a0I believe GSMA Open Gateway\u00a0offers\u00a0the potential to deliver\u00a0similar\u00a0levels of significant\u00a0change\u00a0for digital services.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just the beginning, with operators already launching\u00a0early adopter\u00a0programmes, we will see more APIs\u00a0in the coming year,\u00a0creating new\u00a0global\u00a0markets, offering new services and\u00a0new\u00a0functionality. This\u00a0will help\u00a0unlock\u00a0further\u00a0value from 5G connectivity\u00a0which will flow into the global economy and strengthen future investments,\u00a0bringing transformational benefits of connectivity to all,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Granryd.<\/p>\n

Gao\u00a0Tongqing,\u00a0EVP, China Mobile, said,\u00a0\u201cChina Mobile has been committed to opening up network capabilities and driving positive contributions to promoting the development of the digital economy. We are delighted to be part of the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, which will help industry partners reach different mobile networks and a wider global audience, accelerate our immersive technology offerings to the market, help us innovate on digital products and services, and continue to meet customers\u2019 aspirations for a better digital future, thereby empowering global economic development and social benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Li Jun,\u00a0EVP, China Telecom, said,\u00a0\u201cOur priority is to ensure the best mobile experience for our customers, so the opportunity to participate in this leading mobile industry development is invaluable. We believe collaboration and common frameworks between mobile operators, developers and cloud providers will create new opportunities and drive forward new industries and experiences. We welcome the role that the GSMA is taking to pioneer greater interoperability in the new 5G digital economy and look forward to working with industry partners to drive success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Liang\u00a0Baojun,\u00a0EVP,\u00a0China Unicom, said,\u00a0\u201cChina Unicom\u00a0has been paying attention to and\u00a0spearheading\u00a0open network capabilities.\u00a0This Open Gateway initiative will play a\u00a0crucial\u00a0role in helping accelerate innovation in the telecoms industry and launch new opportunities for 5G and ultra-fast broadband connectivity. By creating an ecosystem in which the industry can provide federated network APIs, the initiative provides huge opportunities to accelerate new immersive communications services to the benefit of society and the global economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
