Network 5G network APIs are emerging as a powerful enabler of monetization in the era of programmable networks, especially as standalone (SA) 5G cores become more widespread. For the first time in years, APIs offer telecom operators a viable platform to unlock application innovation, enabling new services that can dynamically tap into network capabilities such as bandwidth, latency, security, and edge computing. The opportunity is vast, with potential use cases spanning healthcare, transportation, gaming, industrial automation, and beyond.

• Why is there a need for tight coordination among hundreds of communication service providers worldwide, each at different points in their 5G journey?
• How will API aggregators and broader ecosystem support from CPaaS platforms, cloud providers, and developer environments impact growth?
• What are the API pricing models and industry provider strategies that will drive the adoption and growth of network APIs?
