Network exposure through APIs

Telecom network and service exposure enables secure, API-based access to 5G network capabilities—such as activity, mobility, and advanced data services. This fosters innovation, new use cases, and revenue streams across various sectors, allowing CSPs to monetize their 5G investments and reposition themselves as key enablers in the digital ecosystem. At Intersec, we support a large set of CAMARA APIs, notably all Location Services, Authentication & Fraud Prevention and Device Information.

Simplified exposure of network metadata

3GPP standardized

5G network exposure enables granular access to network functions and interfaces, standardized by 3GPP. As an ETSI member, Intersec advances secure, efficient communications with a hybrid location platform fully aligned with the latest 3GPP standards.

CAMARA-ready

The CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway initiatives standardize and publish network API definitions for developers. Intersecsupports a broad range of CAMARA APIs, including Location Services, Authentication, Fraud Prevention, and Device Information.

Future-proof

Agora's capabilities ensure full compliance with future CAMARA APIs for a sustainable and evolving solution. Thanks to a rich set of mobility insights (place of work, place of residence, trajectory analysis, multi-zone geofencing...), it is ready for API candidates (i.e. most frequent location, device visited places...).

Monetize 5G with network APIs

Camara Location Services API

For CAMARA Location Services APIs, the completeness of Intersec's location techniques, orchestration between active and passive geolocation and proprietary corrective models provide the best accuracy on the market with minimal response times and high reliability. Intersec supports:

Geofencing Subscription
Location Retrieval
Location Verification
Population Density Data
Region Device Count

Our solution covers all network generations (2G to 5G) and is network vendor agnostic to provide unified geolocation capabilities and accelerate time to market.

Camara Authentication & Fraud Prevention API

CAMARA Identity verification APIs confirm that the requester is who they claim to be, helping to prevent unauthorised access and identity fraud. Agora can integrate with authorisation servers to associate tokens with subscriber information. Intersec supports:

Call forwarding signal
Customer Insights
Device swap
KYC - Age validation
KYC - Fill In
KYC - Match
KYC - Tenure
Number Recycling
Number verification
One Time password SMS
SIM Swap
SIM swap subscription

Camara Device Information API

CAMARA’s Device Information APIs allow applications to securely access device attributes-such as device type, capabilities, and status-across different mobile networks. These APIs enable developers to build services that can adapt to the specific characteristics of user devices while ensuring privacy and interoperability. Intersec supports:

Connected network type
Connected network type subscription
Device Identifier
Device reachability status
Device reachability status subscription
Device Roaming status
Device Roaming status subscription

Go beyond with Intersec API

With Intersec’s proprietary APIs, telecom operators gain access to a wide range of unique and advanced features and functionalities with extensive filtering, supporting location-based services and advanced activity analysis:

Historized location data & Subscriber profile: our platform enables telcos’ customers to harness historized location data, empowering them to analyze trends, patterns, and customer behavior over time: place of living/work, patterns of life, mileage, travel habits...
Live population displays: our interactive maps provide real-time insights, allowing users to accurately count the number of people present in a defined area, especially useful when managing crises, or for geo-statistics purposes.
AI-powered location algorithms: our platform can detect unusual fluctuations in population density, known as threshold crossing, and trigger intelligent notifications based on contextual parameters. These capabilities are powerful tools to optimize network performance, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new revenues.
Proximity Detection: our platform can detect if 2 devices are seen in the same area.

Scalable network and service exposure

Agora

Intersec Network Exposure Platform

Exposing the telecom network, particularly through 5G SA, means making advanced network capabilities - such as activity and mobility data - securely accessible to external marketplaces via standardised APIs. Our API-centric approach not only enables innovation across industries by supporting new use cases such as smart factories and fraud prevention, but also redefines the role of CSPs in the value chain by enabling differentiated services built on top of 5G infrastructure. Agora is leveraging its superior location intelligence and mobility analytics capabilities to support CAMARA API standardisation. Beyond geolocation, Agora analyses telco metadata to enable fraud prevention and scalable service expansion.

Context

Cookies are scheduled to be phased out by 2024, so marketers are starting to leverage users’ data in privacy-compliant ways by collaborating with telcos. True Digital, a multinational technology company with headquarter in Bangkok, monetizes its data as an insightful and privacy-respectful option in the post-cookie world.

Solution

True Digital has been using Intersec’s platform to enhance their micro-segmentation capabilities and label all their subscribers with 400+ tags: demographic, geographic, behavioral, and interest-based.

This segmentation has proven extremely useful in:

Addressing the needs of enterprise clients who want to advertise on high-engagement channels (SMS, video streaming, e-wallet apps…)
Increasing customer engagement since the telco can use real-time triggers to decide the best moment to interact with the customer
Conducting footfall and mobility analyses leveraging the location technologies of the platform, combined with their micro-segmentation labels, helping businesses make better location decisions (e.g., where to open a branch, shop…)

Telcos are one of the best options for data partnerships. Thanks to telcos’ vast amount of data and high-engagement channels, they can roll out cookie-free and privacy-friendly data-driven solutions for advertising, credit risk and intelligence.
