Nokia has launched three network APIs—Quality of Service on Demand, Number Verification, and Device Location Verification—on Google Cloud Marketplace to expand its API ecosystem with global operators and developers. This strategy aims to monetize network assets and generate new applications for consumers, enterprises, and industries. Developers can leverage these APIs to access mobile networks effortlessly through Nokia's Network as Code platform. These APIs provide specific functionalities, such as improving connectivity for live events, verifying phone number ownership, and authenticating transaction requests based on phone location. More APIs are anticipated in the future.
The comms tech firm's overall API strategy is to tap network capabilities and monetise network assets through the creation of new use cases for consumer, enterprise and industrial customers.
Through automation, the Quality of Service on demand API can ask a network for guaranteed and reliable connectivity for a specified amount of time, such as for a live stream at a large event with thousands of people.
Number Verification API can verify whether a phone number belongs to the person using it, allowing industries such as financial services and retail to mitigate fraud and enhance user verification.
Nokia says developers can use the APIs exposed via Google Cloud Marketplace to tap into multiple mobile networks and create new applications, in conjunction with the capabilities provided by Nokia's Network as Code platform.
