Aduna Collaborates with Major Operators to Enhance API Offerings in Brazil

Aduna, recognized globally as a leader in the aggregation of standardized network APIs, is making significant strides in Brazil, partnering with prominent mobile network operators: Vivo, Claro, and TIM Brasil. This collaboration aims to expedite the commercialization of CAMARA-compliant APIs, with an anticipated launch set for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Brazil is emerging as a frontrunner in the market for CAMARA APIs as all three operators are actively working on offering services that cater to essential security requirements. With fraud prevention being at the forefront of their focus, APIs such as Number Verification and SIM Swap detection will play a pivotal role in helping enterprises shield their customers against account takeovers, identity theft, and mobile fraud. This is particularly crucial in Brazil, which is witnessing a surge in digital banking and mobile commerce, necessitating enhanced trust and reliability.

The partnership between Aduna and these telecom giants aligns their resources towards creating a consistent framework for businesses and developers to access essential APIs throughout Brazil. This unified approach aims to simplify integration processes, mitigate fragmentation issues, and accelerate the rollout of high-value use cases. Ultimately, this initiative will enable the application of network intelligence at scale, thereby bolstering security, fostering innovation, and enhancing digital trust across various sectors.

Leonardo Silva, head of B2B's Messaging, CPaaS, and Open Gateway at Vivo, expressed the strategic importance of network APIs in their digital innovation journey. He noted, "Partnering with Aduna allows us to extend these capabilities to a broader ecosystem of enterprises and developers with confidence in standardized, secure access."

Ageu Dantas, Head of Data Analytics at Claro, highlighted that standardized APIs could drive cross-industry transformation and expedite enterprise adoption. He said, "With Aduna, we can streamline access and ensure faster enterprise adoption at scale."

Similarly, Leonardo Siqueira, Data Monetization Director at TIM, emphasized their commitment to establishing an open and trusted API ecosystem, viewing the collaboration with Aduna as a means to deliver greater value to their partners while speeding up market readiness.

Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, stated, "Brazil is demonstrating what is achievable when operators rally around global standards like CAMARA. With the robust participation of Vivo, Claro, and TIM, the region is setting a precedent for the scalable commercialization of network APIs."

Aduna's scope continues to grow in crucial markets, offering businesses, platforms, and developers a consistent and single interface for accessing high-value, standardized network functionalities from Communication Service Providers (CSPs) globally.
