StarHub and Nokia are collaborating to enhance application development for enterprise sectors utilizing 5G and 4G technologies. This partnership aims to facilitate developers in creating applications tailored for industries such as banking, finance, online streaming, and the public sector.

The companies will integrate StarHub's 5G and 4G networks with Nokia's Network as Code platform, providing developers with streamlined access to network capabilities through a comprehensive developer portal. This initiative is expected to simplify the process of creating applications that leverage network functionalities.

Ayush Sharma, CTO at StarHub, commented, “We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Nokia to deliver a simplified and improved developer experience. Giving developers access to a wider selection of attractive network APIs is critical to unlocking the full value of 5G and 4G networks in Singapore and the wider region.”

StarHub has been active in industry initiatives through GSMA Open Gateway and Linux Foundation CAMARA, supporting the development of technical standards for network APIs. Nokia participates in both efforts, contributing to the ongoing development of new use cases for developers.

Nokia has an extensive ecosystem featuring over 45 partners, including major telecommunications providers such as BT, Orange, and Telefonica, as well as cloud platform providers like Google. This approach is designed to connect API ecosystems through its Network as Code platform, enhancing accessibility while ensuring robust operational security.

Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Network Monetization Platform at Nokia, stated, “Nokia’s approach to network APIs reflects a strategic focus of driving new business models and unlocking the potential that 5G and 4G networks can deliver from the perspective of innovation, sustainability, collaboration, and productivity. With this relationship, StarHub will have more choice and flexibility to create new value for its customers.”
