As part of a mission to better empower industries with the ability to orchestrate, connect and manage Internet of Things (IoT) devices, allowing users to scale their operations and accelerate on a global scale through compatible connectivity, Vodafone Business’ global IoT functionality is now available on Oracle Corporate communications platform Industry applications (ECP).
The move represents an extension of Oracle’s existing partnership with Vodafone Business IoT.
Explaining the rationale for the expanded partnership, Oracle noted that with the advent of the next wave of industrial transformation, near real-time communication is essential, and is increasingly being adopted across industries such as healthcare, construction, engineering, energy, water, hospitality and others. Public sector.
The combination of Oracle ECP and Vodafone Business IoT connectivity is designed to deliver new capabilities such as embedded AI, secure device lifecycle management, connection management, advanced media routing and conferencing.
Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ECP uses edge architecture to provide businesses with what is claimed to be out-of-the-box connectivity and near real-time data intelligence required to power essential new services. The platform also uses Vodafone’s global cellular connectivity chip, and is said to provide businesses with the ability to orchestrate, connect and manage IoT devices, and a new generation of cloud-based services.
By merging Vodafone Global SIM With its ECP service, Oracle is confident that industry application customers will benefit from near real-time communications capabilities through a secure and reliable communication service. Additionally, with access to Vodafone’s IoT network of over 180 countries, businesses will have connectivity compliant with local regulatory requirements, meaning they will be able to operate globally and grow more efficiently.
“We are delighted to announce the next step in our partnership with Oracle – providing reliable and secure connectivity to customers of its enterprise communications platform,” said Eric Brenes, CEO of Vodafone Business IoT. “This collaboration will help customers scale their operations and accelerate on a global scale with compatible connectivity in more than 180 countries around the world. We look forward to our continued partnership with Oracle, where we can connect more customers in more countries.”

“By expanding our longstanding partnership with Vodafone and combining its extensive global network and IoT expertise alongside Oracle’s broad portfolio of industry groups, we can help create new ways to delight customers and deliver new revenue streams.”
