VNPT and Ericsson cooperate on Network APIs to promote innovation in Vietnam

This cooperation will help VNPT deploy successful applications (use cases) of other global carriers, combined with domestic applications and devices to improve service quality and user experience.

VNPT and Ericsson will also work together to identify new use cases based on VNPT's new network infrastructure components, alongside existing API and network functions to connect to the global platform.

With the goal of opening up 5G networks to application developers, this approach will facilitate easy access to API services for application developers, while promoting innovation, opening up new opportunities for cooperation and expanding the market.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Rita Mokbel, General Director of Ericsson Vietnam, said: “The emergence of programmable networks and network features provided to application developers will create promising development potential for VNPT.

VNPT will have the opportunity to develop its network into an innovation platform by providing advanced 5G network features to the global developer community through open application programming interfaces (APIs).

VNPT commented: “Network APIs are a way to increase access, use network infrastructure capacity and bring new revenue potential to network operators. Building Network APIs will help the application developer community in Vietnam access our network through APIs, opening up opportunities to develop new and innovative applications (use cases) for 5G”.

VNPT and Ericsson have been long-term partners through many generations of mobile technology. In the transition to the 5G era, Ericsson successfully tested 5G with VNPT in 2020, demonstrating its commitment to improving network connectivity infrastructure in Vietnam.
