First Orion, a leading provider of branded calling solutions, today announced the April 2026 release of its Global Exchange, which will be previewed during Mobile World Congress (MWC - Booth #CS176) taking place March 2-5, 2026. The upcoming release introduces support for CAMARA-standard APIs and expands international carrier connectivity, improving on the Global Exchange platform first introduced in 2025.
The CAMARA standard, developed by the Linux Foundation and the GSMA, enables open network APIs that allow developers to integrate network capabilities like quality of service, location, and identity into applications. By adding CAMARA support, First Orion's Global Exchange will facilitate interoperability across multiple telecom networks, making it easier for businesses to deploy branded calling and messaging solutions globally. This move aligns with industry efforts to standardize network APIs, reducing fragmentation and accelerating innovation in communication services.
In 2026, First Orion plans to expand European connectivity through Global Exchange to include Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, as well as additional carriers in Germany and the United Kingdom. This expansion follows the platform's initial launch in 2025, which connected carriers in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe. The enhanced reach will enable multinational enterprises to deliver consistent, branded caller experiences to customers across key European markets, improving answer rates and trust in phone communications.
First Orion's Global Exchange is a cloud-based platform that enables carriers and enterprises to exchange verified caller ID information in real time, reducing the incidence of spam and scam calls while increasing transparency. With the April 2026 update, the platform will also support CAMARA-standard APIs, allowing developers to integrate carrier-grade authentication and verification features into their applications. This is particularly relevant for industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, where secure and trustworthy communication is critical.
