What Aduna Global does
Aduna Global, LLC is a Plano, Texas-headquartered joint venture launched in September 2024 between Ericsson (50% stake) and 13 major telecom operators — including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, KDDI, Singtel, Telstra, e&, and América Móvil — that operates as the global aggregation layer for standardized network APIs built on the CAMARA open-source project (driven by GSMA and the Linux Foundation). The platform exposes carrier-grade APIs across six product segments (Security, Identity, Location, Device Information, Data Connectivity, and Network Insights), including core offerings such as Number Verification, SIM Swap Detection, and KYC Match, aggregating supply from 40 mobile operators across 13+ countries with live services in the US, Germany, Spain, Canada, France, and the Netherlands. Aduna monetizes through transaction fees on API calls, recurring platform access fees from CSPs and channel partners, and revenue-sharing via developer ecosystem partners including Vonage (1.7M+ developers), Google Cloud, Infobip, Sinch, Syniverse, and hyperscaler marketplaces (Microsoft Azure, AWS Marketplace), with GSI distribution through Wipro and Tech Mahindra targeting enterprise buyers in finance, retail, government, healthcare, and manufacturing.
The business targets three customer segments: communications service providers seeking to monetize 5G investments and standardize API exposure; hyperscalers and CPaaS providers seeking unified multi-operator reach; and enterprise developers integrating fraud prevention, identity verification, and network intelligence into applications. The company is led by CEO Anthony Bartolo (appointed January 2025, formerly COO of Vonage and Bandwidth) and Chief Commercial Officer Peter Arbiter. Aduna does not disclose revenue and operates as a private JV with no traditional VC funding rounds, having received equity commitments from KDDI (February 2025) and e& (March 2025) as venture partners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company participates actively in industry events (MWC Barcelona, DTW Ignite, GSMA Digital Nation Summit) as its primary GTM channel.

Aduna Global product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Aduna Global is a global aggregator platform that unifies standardized network APIs from 40 mobile operators worldwide into a single integration layer, built on the CAMARA open-source project driven by GSMA and Linux Foundation. The platform provides enterprises, developers, hyperscalers, and CPaaS providers with cross-operator, cross-border access to network capabilities including Number Verification, SIM Swap Detection, KYC Match, Device Location, Quality on Demand, and Device Information APIs. Aduna enables CSPs to monetize their network investments while giving developers a single portal replacing multiple operator-specific integrations.
Product overview
Aduna Global operates as a global aggregator platform for standardized network APIs, combining capabilities from multiple telecom operators worldwide under a unified platform based on the CAMARA open-source project (driven by the GSMA and Linux Foundation). The core platform provides aggregated access to network capabilities across 40 mobile operators globally, delivered through six API product segments: Security APIs (SIM Swap detection, fraud monitoring), Identity APIs (network-based verification), Location APIs (network-verified location), Device Information APIs (device status, reachability), Data Connectivity APIs (network access, QoS management), and Network Insights APIs (network conditions, performance). Key core API products include Number Verification API and SIM Swap Detection API, which enable secure authentication and fraud prevention. The platform serves three customer segments: communications service providers (CSPs) who monetize their network APIs, hyperscalers and CPaaS providers (including Vonage, Google Cloud, Infobip, Sinch) who access multi-operator reach, and enterprises/developers who integrate network APIs via SDKs. API services are currently available in six countries (USA, Germany, Spain, Canada, France, Netherlands) with expansion planned to 13 additional markets including Australia, Brazil, India, Greece, Singapore, Thailand, and UK.
