Stockholm, Tuesday, 11 February 2025.
Aduna partners with Sinch to boost network API development, aiming to improve digital services and security for enterprises globally, announced on February 10, 2025.

Strategic Collaboration for Digital Innovation

The partnership brings together Aduna, a venture launched in September 2024 by Ericsson and leading telecom operators [1][3], with Sinch, a cloud communications provider serving over 175,000 businesses [1]. This collaboration aims to expand global access to network APIs, with a particular focus on enhancing voice, video, and verification services integration [3]. The alliance represents a significant step forward in the development and adoption of network APIs, as emphasized by Sinch’s Chief Product Officer Sean O’Neal [1][2].

Enhanced Security and Verification Services

A key focus of the partnership is the expansion of security and verification capabilities. Sinch will extend its Number Verify coverage through its omnichannel Verification API and introduce the SIM Swap API to enhance trust and safety measures [1][3]. These developments are particularly significant for businesses requiring robust two-factor authentication and fraud prevention mechanisms [6]. The partnership leverages Sinch’s expertise in secure communications APIs [2], ensuring carrier-grade security and reliability for enterprise customers [2].

Standardization and Ecosystem Development

Sinch’s involvement in the CAMARA initiative, an open-source project driven by the Linux Foundation and the GSMA, demonstrates the partnership’s commitment to standardizing API interfaces [5]. The collaboration includes other major technology players, with initial developer platform partners including Google Cloud and Vonage [3]. This extensive ecosystem approach aims to remove significant barriers for developers eager to harness the full potential of mobile networks [5].

Future Impact and Global Reach

Under the leadership of Anthony Bartolo, who was recently appointed as Aduna’s CEO [5], the partnership is positioned to accelerate digital transformation across businesses and society [1][2]. The integration of Sinch’s expertise is expected to enable developers worldwide to access advanced network capabilities through common APIs [2][6]. This global approach, supported by Aduna’s partnership with major telecom operators such as América Móvil, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, and Verizon [1], sets the stage for significant advancement in network API adoption and implementation.
