Vodafone, Nokia tackle fraud with network API deal
Nokia is tying Vodafone’s network APIs into its anti-fraud and authentication products in a push to curb cybercrime across Europe. From April, these tools will be available via Nokia’s Network as Code platform, opening Vodafone’s 4G and 5G network capabilities to app developers serving businesses, public sector bodies and consumers.
The move is aimed at making it cheaper and simpler to adapt apps for multiple countries while giving developers access to Vodafone APIs built on CAMARA standards, including age checks, data verification and active phone number confirmation. Nokia says its Network as Code strategy is to link multiple API ecosystems, and it now connects with more than 70 partners. The Vodafone deal follows a similar partnership with Telefonica focused on expanding use of network APIs and testing agentic AI approaches.
