Aepona
Aepona was a telecommunications software company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with additional offices in Dublin, the United States, and Sri Lanka. Its Network-as-a-Service platform let mobile network operators and cloud service providers expose carrier network capabilities — messaging, voice, location, identity, and carrier billing — to third-party developers through common-language REST APIs, and merchandize them through multi-sided business models. Backed by Amadeus Capital Partners and Sapphire Ventures, Aepona was acquired by Intel in April 2013 for approximately $124 million and folded into Intel's software and services group alongside the Mashery API-management acquisition. The company is no longer operating independently and its developer surface is defunct; this profile is retained as a historical record within the API Evangelist network.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Aepona the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Aepona scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Aepona
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Aepona. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
