Unlocking The Telco Edge: The Importance Of Network APIs For 5G
theCUBEresearch, Monday, June 9th, 2025
The telecommunications industry is undergoing a fundamental shift-one that moves beyond infrastructure build-out to focus on service enablement, developer ecosystems, and monetization.
Central to this transition is the rise of network APIs, which aim to expose valuable network capabilities-once locked in proprietary silos-to developers via standardized, open interfaces.
During a recent AnalystANGLE interview, I had the opportunity to speak with Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Network Monetization Platform at Nokia, about the evolving network API landscape, Nokia's strategy, and the critical role that developer experience will play in unlocking value from programmable 5G infrastructure.
