Spatial Web: Open gateway to the immersive future

New CSP revenues via standardized Spatial Web interoperability through Open Gateway and TMF APIs for next generation of digital services

Project companies

The Spatial Web represents the next evolution of the internet, seamlessly connecting the digital and physical worlds. It leverages technologies such as IoT, 5G/6G networks, spatial computing, and built-in security to deliver personalized, immersive experiences. Unlike the traditional web, the Spatial Web connects not just information, but also physical spaces, devices, people, and AI agents through a common standard. Any device—whether it's a smartphone, sensor, headset, or autonomous vehicle—can instantly share data, knowledge, and capabilities. This Catalyst project utilizes Open Gateway APIs (via CAMARA) and TM Forum (TMF) APIs to develop a new, open communication protocol for the Spatial Web, supporting a wide range of spatial experiences. Through this protocol, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) can manage Spatial Web Nodes—essential components for spatial computing and positioning-based services—and offer them as a service. This innovative service model opens new revenue streams for CSPs, while aligning with Application Service Providers (ASPs) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs). The convergence of 5G, IoT, blockchain, and AI is shaping the Spatial Web, giving telecommunications companies new ways to enhance customer experiences and drive business growth. Development and Use of TMF and CAMARA APIs The development of TMF APIs for this project involves several key steps to ensure seamless integration and optimal functionality. The primary focus is on preparing the Open Gateway environment, synchronizing the TMF 936 catalog, and building the necessary resources and functionalities for the application used throughout the project. Spatial Web Demo The demo will showcase how operators can leverage the Spatial Web and Open APIs to unlock new business opportunities. It will highlight the use of various APIs, including population density data, location retrieval, device location, geofencing, carrier billing, and SIM swap. These capabilities enable operators to design targeted and efficient marketing strategies, enhance customer engagement, and optimize operational workflows. Visitors will be guided through a storytelling experience that demonstrates how Open Gateway and TMF APIs are used in the development of the Spatial Web.
