For enterprises with IoT devices, it is essential to stay connected to those devices. Oracle is now working with AT&T to provide that connectivity.

In a press release on Oracle's website on Monday, the company announced that it is adding AT&T IoT connectivity and networking APIs to its Enterprise Communications Platform (ECP). The move means that Oracle customers will be able to connect to and manage devices in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

The availability of AT&T IoT connectivity is available to Oracle customers in the U.S. and “provides a foundation for new industry applications, from consumer to industrial, delivering high-quality, reliable connectivity that enables innovation and new services such as turnkey, communications-driven restaurant operations, automated utility grid management, or expanded telehealth capabilities,” the press release said.

“Our mission has always been to improve the way the world communicates, and with ECP backed by AT&T and FirstNet, we’re taking a huge step toward that vision,” said Andrew Morawski, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications. “Together, we can help organizations across industries realize the full potential of 5G by building a new generation of vertical applications that provide endless opportunities to innovate.”
