JT has become a Global System for Mobile Communications Association Open Gateway Channel Partner.
This partnership recognises the Channel Islands firm’s commitment to combatting fraud and identity crime.
The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) is a global organisation which unifies the mobile ecosystem – consisting of device manufacturers, mobile operators, application developers and users – to discover, develop and deliver innovation so that people, industry and society thrive.
The Open Gateway initiative is a framework of common network application programming interfaces (APIs) designed to provide developers universal access to mobile operator networks around the world – benefitting the entire mobile ecosystem by providing a single point of access to the world’s largest connectivity platform.
What this means for businesses is faster time-to-market for new services, simpler global deployment, and reduced operational costs, enhancing their return on investment. And for mobile network operators like JT, it opens new revenue streams by monetising network data.
Through this partnership, JT will be able to further develop its fraud prevention offering and extend the reach of its Mobile Intelligence solutions.
Henry Calvert, Head of Networks at GSMA, said: “GSMA Open Gateway is a framework of common network APIs that provides developers with universal access to operator networks. Supported by mobile network operators representing two-thirds of the global market, it allows developers to enhance and deploy services swiftly across these networks via single access points to the world’s largest connectivity platform. This framework marks a significant milestone in global mobile identity verification, equipping businesses with advanced tools to boost security, reduce fraud, and enhance user experience in accordance with the GSMA’s global Open Gateway initiative.’’
Clare Messenger (pictured), Head of Mobile Intelligence at JT, said: JT’s involvement as a GSMA Open Gateway Channel Partner highlights our dedication to innovation and excellence in the telecoms industry. This partnership will enable us to deliver advanced solutions, driving global progress in fraud prevention and identity management. Additionally, it allows us to extend our leading Mobile Intelligence solutions to more organisations and developers.
“This unified ecosystem will unlock the full potential of 5G networks, enabling businesses to launch innovative services that fully maximise the benefits of these networks.”
