The trillion-dollar investment in global mobile networks is finally opening up to developers through standardized APIs, and Aduna Global is leading the charge. Anthony Bartolo, a 35-year telecom veteran, reveals how this platform is uniting telecommunications giants worldwide to provide developers with unprecedented access to network capabilities through a single, consistent interface.

"Nobody understands data sovereignty, privacy, and regulations better than an incumbent carrier group inside a particular country," Anthony explains, highlighting how Aduna leverages the deep expertise of telecom partners representing over 1.3 million employees globally. Rather than forcing developers to navigate complex integrations with hundreds of different networks, Aduna centralizes this complexity and exposes only what truly matters through standardized Camara APIs.

These network capabilities go far beyond basic connectivity, offering ultra-low latency connections, edge computing integration, and real-time network intelligence that developers can incorporate into their applications. Financial services companies are already using these APIs for fraud prevention through SIM swap detection and number verification, while other enterprises are exploring how network data can enhance AI systems for anomaly detection and predictive automation.

The transformation represents a fundamental shift in how telecom operators view their role in the digital ecosystem. Rather than building services independently, they're becoming platform businesses that empower external innovation while creating new revenue streams. As Anthony puts it: "When you see the lights go on, when developers share ideas you never contemplated before but you're making sure they have access to... that's when it really gets exciting."
