description: Vodafone Group plc is a UK-headquartered (Newbury, England) multinational telecommunications company and one
  of the world's largest mobile and fixed network operators, with operations in 15 country markets and partner-market agreements
  covering 40+ additional countries across Europe and Africa. The group serves 279 million mobile customers, 5 million business
  customers, and manages 215+ million IoT connections through its Vodafone IoT platform. Beyond mobile and broadband connectivity,
  Vodafone operates one of the largest IoT/M2M businesses in the industry, invests in 70+ subsea cables, and runs financial
  services like M-PESA (Africa) and Vodapay. Through Vodafone Business it sells connectivity, cloud, security, and managed-mobility
  services to enterprises, and through the GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA initiative it exposes a growing portfolio of standardised
  network APIs (Number Verify, SIM Swap, Quality on Demand, Device Location, Match, MVNO Discovery, and more) via the Vodafone
  Developer Marketplace (developer.vodafone.com), which publishes 27+ commercial and CAMARA APIs across Identity, Mobile,
  Analytics, Boost/QoS, and Partner categories. The Marketplace exposes sandbox and live endpoints under api-sandbox.vf-dmp.engineering.vodafone.com
  and api.vf-dmp.engineering.vodafone.com, with OAuth2 (Consumer Key / Consumer Secret) authentication and Postman collections
  for every product. Vodafone is a premier member of the CAMARA alliance hosted at the Linux Foundation, a founding participant
  in the GSMA Open Gateway, and one of the principal telco operators driving network-as-an-API adoption globally.
