Telecom and media
Enterprise and government customers want network capability through APIs, and they want it inside the country's security rules. We build that API layer on Apigee, with metering your finance team can reconcile and the controls your security office already audits. Media companies need the same layer when a major event brings the whole audience at once.

A network is only an asset when someone else can use it without calling you.
Billions are in the network. Enterprise customers and partner developers want its capabilities, such as identity checks, location and quality on demand, through APIs, the way they use any cloud service. Industry programs such as CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway are already shaping what they expect.
Network APIs
Enterprises, developers and government programs expect identity checks, location and quality on demand through standard APIs, and industry programs such as CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway are shaping what they expect.
What waiting costs: the ecosystem forms around whoever opened first.
Critical infrastructure
Telecom networks are critical infrastructure. TDRA licenses and regulates the sector, and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the UAE Cybersecurity Council set the security bar. A partner API or a care agent is a new path in.
What waiting costs: the API product waits at security review while the partner signs elsewhere.
Data and residency
Enterprise and government buyers ask where data is processed before they sign, and the federal data protection law limits personal data transfers outside the country.
What waiting costs: the deal goes to whoever can answer the residency question on one page.
Media and streaming
Sport, concerts and new releases send sign-in and subscription requests through the same APIs in the same minutes, from viewers in the UAE and abroad. Viewing data is personal data under the federal data protection law.
What waiting costs: an outage during the moment your viewers waited for, and a viewing history you cannot account for.
| Regulator or law | What it asks | What it means for an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) | Licensing and regulation of the telecom sector | Partner and agent access to network functions runs through a policy layer the licensee controls. |
| UAE Information Assurance Regulation, with the UAE Cybersecurity Council | Risk-based security controls for critical sectors | Gateway logs and agent actions feed the same incident process as the network. |
| Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data | Protection of subscriber personal data, including limits on transfers outside the UAE | The care agent reads only the fields its purpose allows, processed where your residency rules allow. |
| UAE Charter for the Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (2024) | Human oversight, transparency and accountability in AI | Credits, plan changes and refunds above a set limit wait for a person. |
| UAE Media Council and the federal media law | Licensing and content standards for media activities, including digital media | Recommendation and service agents respect content standards and age settings on each title, and their actions are logged. |
The network capability is real. The product around it is not: no catalog, no developer onboarding, no metering finance accepts, and no policy layer between partners and the core.
Can a partner developer go from sign-up to a metered, billed API call without a ticket to your engineers?
From partner sign-up to billed API call

Sign-up to invoice, each step lit in turn.
Operators that open the network first become the platform partners build on. We start with one partner API product and finish it end to end before opening the next.
Catalog, developer portal, onboarding, quotas and policy.
You hold: a portal and gateway in production with an owner for every API product.

You hold: usage records that match invoices, and alerts for traffic outside the pattern.

You hold: one agent in production in care or operations with a decision log.
Gemini Enterprise and agentsEasy to start
Choose one workflow, name one owner, and give us time with the people who sign it off.
We bring engineers and the gateway design, we work inside your environment under your security rules, and we write the review pack alongside the build.
A good first workflow is one partner API product, from onboarding to invoice. See the fixed-price ways to start.
What the work feels like
One workflow is chosen and one person owns it. The questions your reviewers will ask are written down before any build starts. Your finance team sees metering reconcile in the first sprint demo.
Governance goes in before the first agent does: the gateway, the audit trail and the access rules. Your risk team sees them working.
A working demo you can show your own review board, not a status slide.
A decision log that can rebuild any action, and a go-live date that was agreed at the start.

Production readiness check
A short readiness check on a live or planned agent workflow. You get a score and the principles worth another look.
Take the readiness checkWe build on the portal you have where it works, and design a new one on Apigee where it does not.
Yes. Integration with billing and usage systems is part of the first sprint, not a later phase.
They sit behind the same gateway as partner traffic, so one policy and one log cover both.
Yes, where your license or policies require it. We confirm at the start which Google Cloud services and locations meet the requirement, and design the gateway, agents and logs so personal data is processed only there.
Yes, in the API, data and AI layer around them: sign-in and subscriptions, audience data and service agents, governed under the federal data protection law. Content delivery systems stay where they are.
