Infobip is a leading CPaaS provider that enables developers to integrate real-time communication features and network APIs into their applications. Infobip’s live network APIs include Number Verify and SIM Swap, and the company is also expanding its offerings with new use cases, including Device Location and Quality-on-Demand APIs. Infobip is a leading provider of native- built technology capable of reaching a significant number of users on operator networks.

In September 2024, Ericsson and global telecom operators announced a new venture to streamline the supply of network APIs from network operators, with Vonage and Google Cloud joining as initial channel partners. The planned addition of Infobip as a partner to Aduna, will further accelerate the expansion of the network API ecosystem through Infobip’s sizable developer community and huge enterprise market connections, which are already proving the importance of CPaaS in combination with network APIs in different markets.  Infobip also brings a strategic chain of existing customers that find onboarding network APIs relatively simple and easy to adopt, which contributes to the company business relationship, while offering this solution in the market.

Aduna, Sinch to drive network API opportunities

Aduna was launched in September 2024 to streamline and simplify global access to network APIs with a vision that new applications will work anywhere, on any network, making it easier and quicker for developers to innovate.

Through its initial developer platform partners - including Google Cloud, Vonage and now with Sinch - Aduna will further bolster the ecosystem for network API innovation, enhancing the reach and effectiveness of network services. Sinch’s network APIs enable businesses to integrate communication capabilities such as voice, video, and verification services into applications, websites and systems.

As a key player in the CAMARA initiative, and by adopting standardized interfaces, Sinch will be able to leverage its extensive expertise and robust customer onboarding capabilities to streamline processes and drive innovation. Sinch will expand its coverage of Number Verify through its omnichannel Verification API, as well as enhance the trust and safety for its customers and their users through the roll out of services, such as the SIM Swap API. By adding Aduna as a preferred partner, Sinch will be able to take a significant step towards delivering cutting-edge solutions and exceptional service to enterprises worldwide.

Sean O’Neal, Chief Product Officer at Sinch, says: “Our partnership with Aduna marks a significant advancement in the development and adoption of network APIs. By working together, we will empower enterprises to enhance security and streamline critical services such as two-factor authentication.
