As part of Nokia’s mission to make network programmability simpler and more powerful, the Network as Code Developer Portal has received a major upgrade. The latest updates are designed to give developers, enterprises, and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) greater flexibility, stronger control, and faster paths from idea to deployment.
Here’s what’s new—and how it benefits you.
What’s New for Developers
Getting started is now faster and easier than ever.
Simplified Sign-Up
The onboarding experience has been streamlined with email verification and two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS or authenticator apps, ensuring both speed and security.
Instant API Access
No waiting, no manual setup. A default application and API key are automatically created when you register, allowing you to begin making API calls within seconds.
Free Test Environment
Developers can immediately explore and build using a simulated network environment—completely free. Test, experiment, and prototype without barriers from day one.
Interactive API Playground
All APIs and endpoints are accessible in one centralized interface. With ready-to-run examples and built-in testing capabilities, developers can explore functionality without digging through documentation or configuring external tools.
The goal is simple: eliminate friction and let you focus on building.
Enhancements for Enterprises
Scaling from experimentation to production is now smoother and more transparent.
Seamless Production Upgrade
Enterprises can upgrade to production-ready status through a guided workflow. Once billing details are completed and verified, organizations gain access to live network APIs and operational tools.
Post-Paid Billing Support
A structured onboarding process now helps enterprises submit the required information for post-paid settlement. After approval, businesses can use commercial APIs with integrated development tools and receive a single consolidated monthly invoice.
Flexible Pricing Options
Enterprises can now select pricing models that align with usage and growth plans:
-
Pay-Per-Use – The default plan. Pay only for the APIs you consume.
-
Volume Tier Plans – Flat-rate or graduated pricing for higher usage volumes.
-
Custom Pricing – Tailored plans built around specific business requirements, available upon request through the portal or directly with the Nokia team.
Intelligent Charging Models
The enhanced API charging engine supports multiple billing structures, allowing enterprises to align pricing with the value delivered to end users. Examples include:
-
Per API Call Billing – For services like SIM Swap, Number Verification, Location Retrieval, and Location Verification.
-
Session-Based Charging – Quality on Demand (QoD) APIs priced according to session duration and service profile (e.g., bandwidth, low latency, high priority).
-
Event-Based Charging – Device Status APIs billed based on status change notifications sent to applications.
All usage and billing data are updated in real time and visible through the dashboard, giving enterprises full transparency and control.
Updates for Communication Service Providers (CSPs)
CSPs gain more flexibility in how they monetize network capabilities.
Flexible Commercial Models
Choose between revenue-sharing arrangements or fixed API pricing, depending on business strategy.
Automated Settlement Reporting
Generate detailed settlement reports that include API usage, pricing structures, and calculated totals. These automated reports simplify reconciliation and reduce administrative overhead for finance teams.
Driving Innovation Across the Ecosystem
These October 2025 enhancements reinforce Nokia’s commitment to enabling innovation across the network ecosystem. By simplifying onboarding, offering flexible monetization models, and improving transparency, the Network as Code Developer Portal empowers:
-
Developers to build faster
-
Enterprises to scale confidently
-
CSPs to unlock new revenue streams
