Aduna and NTT DOCOMO: A Strategic Collaboration

In a groundbreaking announcement, Aduna, a leading aggregator of network APIs, has partnered with NTT DOCOMO, Inc., one of Japan's foremost mobile operators, boasting over 91 million subscribers. This strategic collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to offer network APIs to developers and businesses across the region, marking a significant milestone in Aduna's expansion into the Asia-Pacific market. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing secure, programmable, and interoperable mobile networks.

By leveraging the advanced network capabilities of DOCOMO, this initiative will see those capabilities made available via Aduna's unified platform. This development is set to enhance customer experience, streamline security workflows, and simplify integration complexities for enterprises and digital service providers. Furthermore, adding DOCOMO to the platform allows Aduna to broaden its footprint within one of the world's most sophisticated digital markets, facilitating extensibility for both enterprise use cases and large-scale developments.

Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, highlighted, "The integration of DOCOMO into our platform is a strong validation of our mission to simplify access to global network intelligence at scale. By collaborating, we extend the reach of secure, standards-based APIs with consistent performance that is easy to adopt across various regions and industries."

The APIs, founded on CAMARA standards developed through the GSMA and the Linux Foundation, ensure consistency, interoperability, and regulatory compliance among operators. Aduna’s platform eliminates the need for one-off integrations by providing a scalable interface that connects businesses to mobile networks globally.

Nobuko Hiraguchi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Network Design Department at NTT DOCOMO, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "We are pleased to join forces with Aduna so that DOCOMO’s network capabilities are accessible via open and standardized APIs. This initiative supports Japan's overall push towards digital transformation and enables global developers to create innovative services with increased agility and scalability."

With DOCOMO's inclusion, Aduna joins a growing alliance of global operators committed to building a more open, programmable, and efficient digital ecosystem, powered by Aduna's aggregation model and supported by shared industry standards. This collaboration not only facilitates access to advanced network functions but also fosters a collaborative environment where developers can thrive.
