Developer Portal

The Locatrix Developer Portal (LDP) is an exciting mobile web services access solution, that helps mobile operators provide, provision and monetize developer-friendly endpoints for their enabler APIs on a cost-effective basis, improving ROI and reducing capital expenditure.

Providing access to network enablers – including such assets as subscriber location, charging, profile, and messaging – presents a significant opportunity for operators to harness the growth in Web 2.0 services by leveraging programmable web enthusiasts worldwide. The LDP provides the perfect foundation for a mobile operator to create, manage and support their own developer communities, helping the long-tail of web developers to provide and securely monetize innovative consumer and business applications.

Fully supporting open standards like the GSMA’s OneAPI, the LDP is a hosted solution that allows developers to register, enable and test their applications in a secure sandbox environment, while still permitting operator control over what applications can go live on their network. Further, it provides a branded support site and document repository that helps reduce the cost of supporting developers and also broadening the reach of an operator’s solution recruitment efforts.

And like all Locatrix solutions, the LDP is based on an extensible framework that can be quickly enhanced with new APIs, enablers, and standards.
