MNOs are the only source for trusted network authentication signals for mobile users, and this data is extremely valuable to enterprises trying to protect their consumers from fraud while not negatively impacting the consumer experience. So, you’re ready to start monetizing your network data.  Now what? **Looking Beyond CAMARA** GSMA Open Gateway is a global framework of common network APIs that simplifies access to mobile operator networks. The Open Gateway northbound service APIs are defined within the CAMARA project. CAMARA is an open-source project within the Linux Foundation that defines, develops, and tests telco APIs. It works in close collaboration with the GSMA Operator Platform Group to align API requirements and publish API definitions.  While this is fantastic, we believe that currently only eight (8) of the “mature” CAMARA APIs are truly stable and know that just having APIs or an open gateway doesn’t deliver a network authentication business. **Beyond the APIs** There are three key elements for a successful network authentication business. 1. API & Monetization Platform The API Platform must allow carriers to manage pricing and access, not just process API calls. Access to the network information must be secure and not expose any PII (personally identifiable information), and the consumption of the information must be vetted and approved. 1. Network Integration The API Platform must be securely and precisely integrated into a Carrier API platform and/or network elements, and unnecessary load must not be placed on the network. Only a handful of people worldwide know how to connect to an MNO network.  Our team has decades of experience doing just that, and with a low-code/no-code implementation, you can rest easy knowing that your network team won’t be overtaxed.  1. Business Operations Beyond a platform and integration, there are many other elements. Privacy. Security. Scalability. Data Consumption. Contracts. Aggregators. Pricing. Optimization. Maintenance. 24/7 Operation & Support. Each of these entails complexities, which must be carefully considered and addressed. **A Step Above** While other platforms exist in the market, none include all three elements for success or have the depth of experience in their personnel as we do at Shush. Shush’s Sherlock platform supports all eight of the mature CAMARA APIs for authentication and fraud which we believe are stable, plus 39 others, including being the first platform to support silent authentication via TS.43 EAP-AKA. Unlocking the code to TS.43, Sherlock is the first platform to establish a new, necessary standard for API Authentication, allowing WIFI coverage for silent authentication. This is a vast improvement and a significant change for the entire industry. In addition to this monumental breakthrough, Shush delivers MNOs a “business-in-a-box” by providing and managing all components necessary for a successful and profitable network authentication business. Shush will work with you to deploy the Sherlock platform without additional equipment and at no cost to you.  Our seasoned telecom professionals will work with your existing network and leverage standard protocols to pull the proper network signals for this service, all in compliance with global data regulations.  We use our 9-point privacy plan to align with you on all aspects of privacy. Our demand partner agreement templates care for the complexities of API transactions and the data exchanged (these are more involved than SMS agreements). We will review and approve use cases for each demand partner to ensure protected access to data for sanctioned use.  Based on market trends and platform insights, we will provide ongoing recommendations for pricing optimization. We provide continuous maintenance and support for the platform and API traffic, both northbound to demand partners and southbound to your network.  Finally, with a revenue share model, we manage all the operations and send you a monthly check.  Sounds too good to be true, but it's not!
