Unlocking Telco Innovation with CAMARA: Bridging the Gap Between Telcos and Cloud Developers

This conference talk explores how CAMARA, an open source project under the Linux Foundation, is standardizing APIs to bridge the gap between telecommunications companies and cloud developers. Learn how Deutsche Telekom's Markus Kümmerle and the Linux Foundation's Jill Lovato explain CAMARA's mission to simplify access to telco capabilities such as quality of service, device location, and identity management. Discover how this initiative is fostering collaboration between telcos, developers, and hyperscalers by reducing network complexity and enabling interoperability across telco networks and countries. Gain insights into how standardized APIs are creating new revenue opportunities for telecommunications companies while empowering developers to build next-generation applications with advanced network capabilities. The presentation covers both cloud APIs and how cloud capabilities are being leveraged to implement these APIs, offering a comprehensive look at how CAMARA is accelerating innovation in the telecommunications industry.
