Maxis, Aduna Partner To Advance Network API Adoption For Businesses
The agreement, formalised during the GSMA Digital Nation Summit in Singapore, will provide businesses and developers in Malaysia with access to Aduna's global platform of common network APIs.
Initial offerings will focus on high-impact APIs such as Number Verification, SIM Swap, KYC Match and Location Verification, key enablers in combating digital fraud and securing online transactions. These capabilities are expected to benefit sectors including financial services and e-commerce.
According to Maxis, the collaboration will enable faster, more secure development of API-driven solutions and reduce time-to-market for new services. Network APIs allow applications to interact automatically across multiple mobile networks, facilitating seamless integration and swift deployment.
'This partnership with Aduna will enable the development of more secure, user-centric services backed by seamless access to advanced network APIs,' said Prateek Pashine, Chief Enterprise Business Officer of Maxis.
Aduna Chief Executive Officer Anthony Bartolo said the partnership will bring unified network APIs to Malaysia, calling it 'one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic digital economies'.
The initiative aligns with global open standards such as the GSMA Open Gateway framework and CAMARA Project, and builds on Maxis' previous involvement in the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx), which aggregates telco APIs across Asia Pacific to accelerate adoption. Related

Telco sector faces tepid growth; Large-cap picks preferred amid industry pressure
A STOCK-PICKING strategy oriented towards the liquid large caps is favoured given the tepid industry growth prospects and lack of meaningful re rating catalysts. 'We continue to see fixed-line telcos outperforming on structural tailwinds. With the mandatory standard on access pricing (MSAP) up for another review by the year-end, regulatory risk looks to be still a key sector peeve,' said RHB. We see the tepid industry revenue momentum continuing in the second half of 2025 (2H25) as telcos maintain the affordable connectivity narrative via tactical campaigns. The pressure on industry average revenue per user should stay elevated with rebates offered. Overall, we believe the rise in 5G wholesale charges and inflation-led operating expense pressures should weigh on industry earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) despite the good cost restraint exercised by the multinational corporations (MNO). We expect Maxis and CDB to exercise their put options to acquire the Ministry of Finance's 41.7% stake in Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) by year-end. This would mark the Government's full exit from DNB with the three MNOs holding an equal 33.3% each. With a new operating model instituted, a review of the existing 5G wholesale framework is plausible. The MSAP is up for review by end-2025 which could renew concerns again over broadband price competition. However, based on the previous rhetoric and the already competitive broadband pricing landscape, we think adjustments to access prices would be manageable and rates commercially negotiated. We think it is possible that the regulator extends the validity of current access prices (2023-2025) while adding 5G wholesale rates into the access list. Meanwhile, press reports indicated that JP2 is set to begin in September utilising a hybrid approach with c.3,000 sites identified nationwide. We see this and the rollout of the second 5G network benefitting towercos and/or infrastructure providers including OCK Group, Reach-Ten Holdings and Redtone International. Successive news flow on potential asset monetisation saw AXIATA's share price recover from multi-year lows in April. We think a 3-9 month window is highly probable for an asset sale to materialise, supported by improving market appetite, waning interest rates and the group's headline net debt/EBITDA target of 2.5x by end of financial year 2026. —Aug 5, 2025
