Satellite comms will also provide redundancy in the event of primary connections failing
Oracle is using connectivity from Space-X’s Starlink low-Earth satellite constellation to provide high-speed broadband communications for its Enterprise Communications Platform (ECP). According to Oracle, this means ECP customers can connect to the portfolio of industry applications from almost anywhere, including for real-time video and audio streaming.
Oracle says its ECP “unifies fixed, mobile and the Starlink networks to securely manage and ensure cloud application delivery in remote or previously poorly connected areas. With the integration of Starlink’s network on Oracle ECP, Oracle industry applications customers can leverage satellite connectivity in a rapidly growing list of more than 100 countries and territories.”
Real-time connectivity around the world
The ECP is built on Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure which supports real-time information for connected devices, IoT endpoints and mobile applications. It is designed to secure and monitor equipment against misuse or failures.
Its edge component, Oracle Cloud Connector, means ECP users can remotely host and manage video and audio applications for various use cases. Redundant backhaul means maximum uptime for customers’ applications according to Oracle, even if a primary connection fails.
The ECP supports applications for healthcare, construction and engineering, utilities, hospitality and the public sector, including public safety agencies and first responders.
“By adding Starlink’s proven performance and expansive network to our established network relationships, we’re powering ubiquitous IoT connectivity, safeguarding mission-critical operations, and protecting data integrity during emergencies,” said Andrew Morawski, EVP and GM, Oracle Communications. “Together, we’re creating the intelligent communications foundation that will accelerate business transformation across industries around the world.”
