Nearby Computing joins the Camara fund to accelerate the operational adoption of open network APIs

• Nearby Computing, a leading provider of orchestration and automation solutions for multi-domain edge-to-cloud environments, has joined the CAMARA Fund, hosted by the Linux Foundation

CAMARA, developed in collaboration with the GSMA Operator Platform Group, is a global open-source initiative that defines and harmonises network APIs to simplify access to advanced network capabilities — such as quality-on-demand, location, and edge service provisioning — enabling developers and service providers to build innovative, network-aware applications faster.

Through its participation in the CAMARA Fund, Nearby Computing is contributing its orchestration and automation expertise to accelerate the practical adoption of these APIs across multi-vendor and multi-cloud environments. Building on this commitment, Nearby Computing was among the first companies to integrate CAMARA APIs into a commercial product, embedding them within the HUB module of its orchestration platform, NearbyOne. This allows operators and enterprises to access and consume standardised network APIs as a managed service, turning open specifications into tangible, deployable value.

“Our goal is to help turn open collaboration into real, deployable innovation. By contributing to the CAMARA Project and integrating its APIs directly into our platform, we’re enabling operators and developers to use these capabilities today — with full automation, interoperability, and at scale. This is how we contribute to the Linux Foundation ecosystem: by helping open initiatives move from standard to service,” said David Carrera, CTO AT NEARBY COMPUTING.

Nearby Computing’s involvement in CAMARA reflects its broader commitment to advancing open, interoperable and programmable networks, and to supporting global initiatives within the Linux Foundation ecosystem that drive the convergence between telecom and cloud technologies. As an example, its latest contributions to Neonephos, also part of the Linux Foundation, include both the OPG EWBI Operator and the OPG EWBI API, which together implement the GSMA OPG East/West Bound Interface (OPG-EWBI) standard through Kubernetes® resources and APIs.
