APAC APIs Whitepaper: How The World’s Most Populous Region Is Advancing Telco Network API Exposure

This whitepaper highlights the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region’s significant progress in advancing telecommunications network API exposure. With over 50% of global operator participation in GSMA’s Open Gateway initiative, APAC leads in launching APIs for fraud prevention, authentication, and network optimisation.

The region’s unique characteristics—high mobile penetration, young tech ecosystems, and diverse economies—drive API adoption and innovation. Efforts emphasise collaboration among developers, operators, and channel partners, with a focus on enhancing security, quality of service, and monetisation opportunities.

Prominent case studies from Indonesia, China, and Sri Lanka showcase real-world applications, reflecting the potential for APIs to transform industries and accelerate digital transformation.

This project demonstrates Telkomsel’s commitment to advancing digital transformation in a “mobile-first” economy, fostering trust and innovation across the APAC region.
