French operator Free, Nokia sign network API deal
French operator Free, part of the Iliad Group, has joined Nokia’s Network as Code API platform. The deal gives developers and enterprise customers a single interface to tap into Free’s network features, alongside those of more than 60 other partners already on the platform.
Nokia says the system supports use cases in sectors such as banking, healthcare, automotive and entertainment, and is built in line with industry efforts including the GSMA’s Open Gateway and the Linux Foundation’s CAMARA project. The move comes as operators and vendors across the industry race to standardise and commercialise network APIs, with rivals such as Ericsson backing separate coordination efforts under the Aduna banner.
