"Telecom networks are no longer just dumb pipes for connecting applications. New APIs are giving developers access to device location and other powerful network functionalities. Telecom networks are becoming more than just infrastructure, with network API exposure turning them into smart, programmable platforms. Developers from many fields, not just telecom, are now beginning to use these network capabilities, such as locating devices, detecting SIM swaps, running KYC (know your customer) matches, and requesting high-priority network speed through the Quality on Demand API."
"The Location Verification API allows applications to use telecom data in addition to GPS to confirm a user's network-verified location. This makes it possible to: Prevent banking fraud: Detect when a user's device is in a different location from where a transaction is occurring Enable context-aware services: Retail apps can display hyperlocal deals only when the user is actually in the store Secure access control: Government or logistics apps can verify that someone is in a sensitive region without relying on spoofable GPS signals"
Telecom networks have evolved from simple connectivity into programmable platforms that expose powerful APIs to developers. Network API exposure enables device location verification, SIM-swap detection, KYC matching, and Quality on Demand for prioritized bandwidth. Location Verification API combines telecom data with GPS to provide network-verified location for fraud prevention, context-aware retail offers, and secure access control without reliance on spoofable GPS. Programs such as CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway provide the standards and interfaces that make these capabilities accessible. Developers across industries can now integrate network-level signals and controls into applications, changing how software is built, deployed, and delivered.
