Alipay, one of the world's largest online payment platforms, integrates with China Mobile's AaaS Open Gateway platform via Alibaba Cloud. When users access payment services in areas with weak network coverage, Alibaba Cloud leverages the API to dynamically enhance wireless network performance. This optimization reduces payment transaction time and decreases transaction failure rates, significantly enhancing the user payment experience.

Looking ahead, China Mobile will continue to collaborate with industry partners to contribute more advanced capability APIs and pioneering application scenarios. By driving the commercialization of 5G and accelerating the global adoption of the Open Gateway ecosystem, China Mobile remains committed to fostering innovation and shaping the future of intelligent connectivity on a global scale.

The Open Gateway initiative is a pivotal effort led by GSMA to drive the globalization of network capability exposure. As a universal open network API framework, it enables seamless and standardized access to carrier network capabilities for enterprises and developers worldwide. These functionalities are deployed through globally standardized APIs under the CAMARA framework-an open-source project jointly spearheaded by the Linux Foundation and GSMA, fostering innovation and interoperability across the global digital ecosystem.

The annual GLOMO Awards represents the industry's most prestigious accolade. With a panel of judges comprising over 260 global analysts, media professionals, and industry experts this year, the GLOMO Awards 2025 celebrates individuals and companies that drive innovation and showcase excellence in the rapidly growing mobile industry.
