Operator shows off AI use cases and announces API unit, Orange LiveNet, tasked with expanding its CAMARA-based API catalogue
Orange’s slogan for MWC 2025 is “Connectivity and beyond”. The operator wants to show off the power of its network, “which aims to be intelligent, responsible, open, software-driven, and increasingly predictive”.
In particular, Orange is highlighting its prowess with AI, saying it has deployed more than 150 use cases deployed through 800 experts and strategic partnerships. The group is presenting its latest advances from its R&D, such as integrating AI into its networks to improve the quality, reliability, and predictability of infrastructures to benefit customers.
Orange also says AI is key to better cybersecurity and protecting customer data.

The operator group is also announcing the launch of its API Business Unit, Orange LiveNet. Its purpose is to create offers for developers and businesses to gain secure access to network functionalities, using network APIs.
Orange says that as it increasingly opens up its networks so they can function as commercial platforms, network APIs will be the gateway to develop customer experiences across many industries, allowing real-time, secure access to tailored connectivity.
Through the new unit, Orange intends to speed up the expansion of its CAMARA API catalogue. CAMARA is the Linux Foundation’s open-source project which works with the GSMA OpenGateway initiative. The project is supported by 69 operator groups worldwide.
Orange’s network APIs will be available through the portal developer.orange.com and several partner channels for developers, starting with Aduna, the joint venture created by Ericsson and, so far, 13 international operators, including Orange, in September 2024. Aduna has also just announced its collaboration with the Bridge Alliance, which runs on Singtel’s Paragon platform.
The first commercial APIs in this new approach are identity and anti-fraud APIs, followed by geolocation and quality-on-demand APIs, demonstrated at MWC.
