CAMARA works in close collaboration with the GSMA Operator Platform Group to align API requirements and publish API definitions and APIs. Harmonisation of APIs is achieved through fast and agile created working code with developer-friendly documentation. API definitions and reference implementations are free to use (Apache2.0 license).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4G\/5G network capabilities are functions partly available already in 4G but new and much more powerful in the 5G network. These functions enable to get information out of the network but also to configure the network. The on-demand, secure and controlled exposure of these capabilities pave the way for transforming operator networks into service enablement platforms, facilitating the application-to-network integration, which will be key to deliver enhanced and service- tailored customer experience in the 5G era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abstraction from Network APIs to Service APIs is necessary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To hide telco complexity making APIs easy to consume for customers with no telco expertise (user-friendly APIs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To fulfil data privacy and regulatory requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To facilitate application to network integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Availability across telco networks and countries is necessary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To ensure seamless customer experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To accelerate technology development and commercial adoption (minimize implementation effort)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To accelerate education and promotion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To support application portability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gsma-banner-rihgt-img banner_right-img_block gsma-load-hidden\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group banner_right-img_container\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner_right-img_columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column banner_right-img_column_left is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading banner_right-img_title\" id=\"h-industry-collaboration\">Industry collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner_right-img_blurb wp-block-paragraph\">A close collaboration has been set up between the <strong>CAMARA project<\/strong> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/technologies\/networks\/operator-platform-hp\/\"><strong>GSMA\u2019s Operator Platform<\/strong><\/a> initiative that is defining a federated platform solution for exposing operator network capabilities to external applications.
