• The venture between Ericsson and global telecom operators is announcing a strategic partnership with Infobip to expand the reach of advanced network APIs.

Aduna, a landmark venture between some of the world's leading telecom operators and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), is today announcing that it will be entering into a strategic partnership with Infobip, a leading Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider, to drive demand and innovation in the ecosystem. The collaboration will mark an important milestone to expand the global reach and adoption of network APIs and to help redefine the digital services landscape.

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.

Matija Ražem, Chief Commercial Telecom Officer, Infobip, says: "Infobip’s solution-oriented go-to-market strategy leverages our own and partners’ professional services, which allows us to bring CPaaS to customers for more developer focused initiatives. We continue to extend our partner and developer ecosystem, network APIs, self-serve capabilities and advanced security features. We are excited to partner with Aduna, this historic new venture in the telecom industry.”

Anthony Bartolo, CEO, Aduna, says: "Partnering with Infobip will take us another step closer to eliminating barriers faced by developers, empowering them to unlock the full potential of mobile networks. By leveraging Infobip's expertise and global reach, we will enable developers on leading platforms to seamlessly access advanced network capabilities worldwide through common APIs."
