Bridge Alliance, a mobile alliance of 34 operators worldwide, and Singtel, a Singapore-based communications technology group, announced a strategic partnership to accelerate regional API federation with a telco API exchange powered by Singtel’s Paragon, an all-in-one orchestration platform for telco networks.
Singtel stated Bridge Alliance is establishing the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx), which uses Paragon to aggregate its member operators’ network authentication, user verification, and network quality APIs.
A standard API architecture enables secure, consistent, and on-demand access to telco network capabilities across several regions, helping corporations and developers launch innovative services on member operator networks.
This makes it possible to use CAMARA APIs to standardise and aggregate telecom APIs on a regional basis.
