US network operator Verizon has announced the launch of a network application programming interface (API) aimed at providing developers with access to its 5G network. These APIs are accessible to developers around the world through a variety of platforms, including API aggregators, hyperscalers, and Verizon’s own API portal, and are intended to strengthen customer engagement and brand loyalty. This release builds on a collaboration agreement between Verizon and Vonage earlier this month to provide advanced 5G network APIs to developers.

Verizon’s 5G Network API
As part of the partnership, the aim is to bring the Verizon network’s application programming interfaces (APIs) to the Vonage platform, giving the developer community access to network services and features. Plans to integrate Verizon’s network services into Vonage’s platform will enable companies to create deeper engagement with consumers across the customer journey, driving improved overall experience and brand loyalty. verizon Said.
Verizon’s API Portfolio
The Verizon API portfolio reportedly covers key functional areas such as network authentication security, SIM and device management, network traffic prediction, quality control, edge site selection, and routing. These APIs leverage the potential of Verizon’s 5G network to deliver value and functionality across a variety of industries.
For example, developers can combine these APIs to strengthen user authentication and device ownership validation to improve fraud prevention in their applications. Verizon says these features allow Mobile Security to add valuable customer authentication, onboarding and fraud prevention services to multiple industries, including banking and digital retail.
