Ericsson unit Vonage wins Juniper awards for mobile identity API

Network API brings real‑time mobile identity into enterprise fraud defence

On Feb. 5, 2026, Vonage, a wholly owned subsidiary of Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson, is winning top honours at Juniper Research’s Future Digital Awards for its Vonage Identity Insights API, receiving the Platinum Award for Network API Solution Innovation and the Gold Award for Best Mobile Identity Solution. The API delivers real‑time intelligence from mobile networks — including SIM swap detection and other advanced network signals — to help enterprises verify users, prevent fraud and enhance customer experiences at the point of interaction.

The recognition highlights how operator‑grade network signals are being packaged as developer‑friendly APIs to address a rising threat landscape for online services. Vonage’s Identity Insights connects cloud applications to mobile network data for authentication and risk decisions, reducing reliance on slower, less accurate methods. Christophe Van de Weyer, President and Head of Business Unit API at Vonage, says the awards underscore the company’s focus on unlocking mobile network capabilities for enterprises to validate users and elevate security and experience.

For Ericsson, the accolade reinforces a strategic push to monetize network intelligence through the Ericsson‑owned Vonage business as carriers and enterprises seek embedded security and identity services. By offering Identity Insights alongside messaging and engagement APIs, Vonage positions operator data as a competitive differentiator in fraud prevention, customer onboarding and regulated transactions — areas where network‑originated signals have high trust and low friction.

Complementary market recognition and product reach

The awards come as Juniper Research also names Vonage an Established Leader across reports on Network APIs, Global Mobile Identity and A2P & Business Messaging, reflecting broad market traction for its CPaaS and rich messaging portfolio including SMS, RCS and WhatsApp integrations.

Vonage operates within Ericsson’s Group Business Area Global Communications Platform (BGCP) and frames its AI‑powered platforms — Network APIs, CPaaS, CCaaS and UCaaS — as tools for enterprises and developers to drive digital transformation across mobile networks and the cloud. The company points to enterprise adoption and developer usage as evidence that operator‑grade identity services are entering mainstream security stacks.
