Oracle is building on its partnership with Vodafone Business IoT to bring global IoT connectivity to Oracle’s Enterprise Communications Platform (ECP) industry applications customers. Built on the high performance and security of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ECP uses edge architecture to give businesses the out-of-the-box connectivity and near real-time data intelligence required to power essential new services.

The platform, which uses Vodafone’s Global SIM for cellular connectivity, underpins Oracle ’s extensive portfolio of industry applications giving industries the ability to orchestrate, connect, and manage IoT devices and a new generation of cloud-based services. The combination of Oracle’s ECP with Vodafone Business IoT’s connectivity enables new capabilities such as embedded AI, secure device lifecycle management, connection management and advanced media routing and conferencing.

By integrating Vodafone’s innovative Global SIM with Oracle’s Enterprise Communications Platform, Oracle industry applications customers will benefit from near real-time communications capabilities with a secure and reliable connectivity service. Furthermore, with access to Vodafone’s expansive IoT network of over 180 countries, businesses will have connectivity compliant with local regulatory requirements—meaning that they will be able to operate globally and grow more efficiently.

Erik Brenneis, CEO Vodafone Business IoT, said,

“We’re excited to announce the next step in our partnership with Oracle—providing reliable and secure connectivity to its Enterprise Communications Platform customers. This collaboration will help customers to expand their operations and accelerate on a global scale with compliant connectivity in over 180 countries worldwide. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with Oracle, where we can connect more customers in more countries.”

As the next wave of industrial transformation unfolds, near-real-time connectivity is essential and is becoming increasingly adopted in various industries such as healthcare, construction and engineering, energy and water, hospitality, and the public sector.

“Connectivity is the heart of industry transformation,” said Andrew Morawski, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications. “Using drones to inspect construction jobsites, remote monitoring the health of a patient, paying the bill tableside at a restaurant—none of these scenarios are possible without wireless connectivity and industry-specific applications working in harmony. By expanding our long partnership with Vodafone and bringing its extensive global network reach and IoT expertise together with Oracle’s, wide-ranging portfolio of industry suites, we can help create new ways to delight customers and deliver new revenue streams.”

 

IoT SIM cards

Vodafone Business Global SIM

(Standard, robust, industrial and automotive-grade SIM cards in multiple formats)

Vodafone Business has one Global SIM that gives access to +580 networks. You can find it in standard (for handheld applications and conditions) and robust (hardened for tougher conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibrations, and longer lifetime) grades. Industrial SIMs are soldered directly into terminals, perfect for extreme environments. Automotive-grade SIMs are the toughest SIM cards, specifically designed for automotive uses.

Vodafone Business integrated SIM (iSIM) for LPWA

The Vodafone Business Global IoT Integrated SIM is stored on the chipset and installed at the device manufacture point, reducing manual provisioning, battery life, and module costs. iSIMs are particularly effective for large-scale IoT deployments, especially when combined with LPWA networks. For example, smart labels containing iSIMs can be used to track parcels through their journey.

Additional capabilities and services:

Vodafone Business Global SIM+

This Global SIM variant ensures that the changing market rules on roaming or connectivity do not disrupt businesses, as it provides improved customer experience and seamless connectivity management in highly regulated markets.

Vodafone Business embedded SIM (eSIM)

eSIM is a capability that enables SIMs of any type to switch from one connectivity provider to another over the air, without the need to change the SIM physically. Embedded SIMs have a longer lifetime; however, it’s more difficult to access them physically. Vodafone offers several GSMA-based eSIM propositions.
