Oracle Expands Connectivity with Starlink for Enterprise Platform
Texas-based Oracle is leveraging connectivity from Starlink, the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, to enhance the Enterprise Communications Platform (ECP), the company announced on Tuesday. The collaboration enables Oracle ECP customers to access broadband internet and high-speed communications from remote locations, offering capabilities such as real-time video and audio streaming. “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, SpaceX VP of Starlink WW Enterprise Sales. Oracle ECP integrates fixed, mobile, and satellite networks, ensuring secure delivery of cloud applications even in poorly connected regions. Through Starlink’s network, Oracle industry application users in over 100 countries and territories can access real-time connectivity. The platform, built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, supports industries like healthcare, construction, utilities, hospitality, and the public sector. Oracle ECP enables hospitals, clinics, and first responders in remote areas to access critical applications and maintain operations during network disruptions. “We’re powering ubiquitous IoT connectivity, safeguarding mission-critical operations, and protecting data integrity during emergencies,” said Andrew Morawski, Oracle communications executive VP and GM. The integration is set to accelerate business transformation by ensuring reliable and secure connectivity for enterprise applications worldwide. Last year, Oracle officially entered the multi-cloud era. Following its partnership with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud earlier in 2024, the company also partnered with AWS to launch the Oracle Database at AWS. What does this mean for India? Starlink’s global partnerships and expertise in delivering high-speed connectivity to remote regions could play a transformative role in India’s digital infrastructure. By leveraging LEO satellite technology, Starlink has the potential to bridge the connectivity gap in rural and underserved areas, enabling access to vital services such as telemedicine, online education, and disaster management. For India, a market dominated by terrestrial broadband providers like Jio and emerging players like JioSpaceFiber, Starlink’s entry could spur competition, driving innovation and expanding internet access across the country. This aligns with the government’s vision of a digitally connected India, but it also presents challenges. With global providers like Amazon’s Project Kuiper and Rivada Space Networks eyeing the Indian market, the competition among satellite internet providers could lead to better services and pricing, benefiting millions of users.
