NetworkX 2025 : Network APIs are ready to use, ready to make impact
Published: October 22, 2025
Network X 2025 gathered a global community of telecom innovators to showcase what’s next for connectivity—over 5,500 attendees, including 1,500 telco professionals and 150 exhibitors, according to the organizer. The headline this year: network APIs are mature, standardized, and ready to power real business outcomes.
What changed in 2025
Backed by GSMA Open Gateway and the Linux Foundation’s CAMARA project, a large majority of communications service providers are aligning on common, developer-friendly interfaces. This momentum unlocks faster onboarding, easier integration, and broader reach across markets—so developers can build once and deploy across multiple operators.
Real-world impact
On stage during a panel discussion “Partnerships, success, challenges and progress update for network APIs”, top-tier CSPs and GSMA shared a joint project in the UK between JT Global, Téléfonica, and FICO to fight phone scams using network data. This trial has brought 44% of reduction in the value lost with only 26% of mobile network market covered.
What enterprises can build today
- Verify number status and registration to secure digital transactions
- Detect SIM swap or unusual activity to prevent account takeover
- Request network quality on demand for critical customer journeys
- Leverage aggregated population density insights for smarter operations These capabilities are designed with user consent, strong governance, and privacy-by-design.
Orange for developers
Orange offers a growing catalog of network APIs, including multi-operator access available for selected capabilities in markets such as France and Spain. Developers can explore use cases like number verification, fraud detection, and quality on demand—and move from proof of concept to production faster. Discover the catalog and documentation.
5G and beyond Network APIs are a key enabler for next-generation networks, supporting features such as automation, service customization, and, in time, 5G-specific capabilities like network slicing—expanding what enterprises can deliver to their users.
