Oracle is using connectivity from SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation to deliver broadband internet, for its Enterprise Communications Platform (ECP) IoT management software.

ECP users powering Oracle’s portfolio of industry applications can use Starlink to connect from almost anywhere, including some of the world’s most remote locations, and benefit from capabilities such as real-time video and audio streaming.

Starlinks runs a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

“Starlink provides reliable high-speed connectivity for those in areas where it has been historically difficult due to lack of infrastructure or natural obstacles,” said Jason Fritch, vice president for Starlink enterprise sales at SpaceX (www.spacex.com). “Providing fast and secure broadband to all corners of the world will help Oracle expand the reach of cloud technology and real-time information for its customers in invaluable ways.”

ECP unifies fixed, mobile and the Starlink networks to manage and ensure cloud application delivery securely in remote or previously poorly connected areas. With the integration of Starlink’s network on ECP, Oracle industry applications users can leverage satellite connectivity in a rapidly growing list of more than 100 countries and territories.

Built on the performance and security of Oracle’s cloud infrastructure, ECP delivers real-time information for connected devices, IoT endpoints and mobile applications. It also secures and monitors the equipment against misuse or failures.

With its Cloud Connector edge component, ECP can remotely host and manage video and audio applications to address various industry use cases. Its redundant backhaul connectivity helps Oracle users increase application uptime, even during an outage on the primary connection.

Real-time connectivity is essential in supporting some of the biggest problems in industries such as healthcare, construction and engineering, utilities, hospitality, and the public sector. For example, hospital systems could use Starlink (www.starlink.com) and ECP (www.oracle.com/industries/enterprise-communications-platform) to gain reliable access to Oracle’s clinical applications in metro hospitals through to suburban and rural clinics in desert or mountainous areas. Similarly, public safety agencies can leverage capabilities that help keep first responders connected and safe, even in areas with limited or no mobile coverage.

“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, executive vice president at Oracle (www.oracle.com). “Together, we’re creating the intelligent communications foundation that will accelerate business transformation across industries around the world.”
