Context
Telecom operators and i2CAT have launched a Spanish network API lab to speed up the adoption of open, interoperable APIs. The lab will focus on creating use cases, testing APIs, and deploying testbeds to ensure cross-network functionality. Researchers will also access advanced tools, support, and a multi-operator test environment. This effort aligns with the GSMA’s Open Gateway project, which integrates network functions into apps to generate revenue. “This collaboration will boost multi-operator cooperation, a core part of Open Gateway,” said Irene Bernal , Telefónica Open Gateway’s director of product and strategy.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
Additionally, new APIs will follow the CAMARA framework to ensure compatibility. Victor del Pozo of MasOrange called Open Gateway a “paradigm shift” in how telecom services are designed and marketed.

As digital transformation grows, APIs are crucial for connecting networks and applications seamlessly. This initiative, part of the GSMA’s Open Gateway project, aims to boost collaboration and unlock new revenue opportunities for operators.
Key Points
- The lab will design tests and deploy testbeds for API development and deployment.
- Focuses on creating use cases and performance benchmarks for APIs.
- Part of the broader Open Gateway initiative to integrate network functions into applications.
Actions
Pending intelligence enrichment.
