Last February, we participated in the Mobile World Congress, the most important technological event in the field of mobile communication, which takes place every year in Barcelona. This event represents the global epicenter of technology and connectivity, where we share our latest innovations with the industry.

Transforming the Customer Experience

During this occasion, Chema Alonso, Chief Digital Officer of Telefónica and CEO of Telefónica Innovación Digital, presented the demonstration of Telefónica Open Gateway where the latest developments of Telefónica Open Gateway were explored, an innovative platform that is transforming the way we interact with mobile technology.

He showed us the potential of Telefónica’s Open Gateway APIs , highlighting how these programming interfaces are driving the creation of innovative and customized solutions for both businesses and consumers. Open Gateway APIs make it easy for developers to access features and data from Telefónica’s telecommunications networks, allowing them to create applications and services that take full advantage of mobile connectivity.

In addition, he revealed the details of the new wave of disruptive innovation promoted by Telefónica, focused on creating more fluid, secure and personalized digital experiences for users. This innovation addresses emerging challenges and opportunities in the digital world.

Innovation and Connectivity

In this context, DIGITEL TS is part of this innovation ecosystem. We act in the market as a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), offering Digital Identity, Electronic Contracting and Communication solutions, and Open Gateway Initiatives. Our Open Gateway initiatives include:

• SIM Swap API: A solution that makes it easy to integrate SIM card replacement detection and management capabilities into applications, with the aim of identifying potential fraud and providing an additional layer of protection. In addition, this API leverages data from the operator’s network to enable quick adjustments tailored to security protocols for each service.
• API Number Verification: Allows you to incorporate a reliable authentication system that uses the phone number to validate the identity of users. Going into more detail, it provides an automatic and quick way to identify if a user is connecting from a device that has a SIM card associated with a unique mobile number (MSISDN). This mechanism makes it easier to verify data in those services that use mobile numbers and passwords for one time by SMS.

In short, these initiatives involve the creation of solutions that promote progress and security in the digital age, placing us at the forefront of digital trust. We guarantee the authenticity, integrity and security of electronic transactions, in addition to implementing anti-fraud measures to strengthen security in digital operations.
