How to increase the value of IoT with Real Time Communications
Session Abstract:
As we enter the era of 5G, the focus of the telecommunications industry has shifted away from being consumer centric businesses to delivering growth through accelerating digital transformation in the Enterprise space. At the same time, Enterprises are changing their own strategies and are more deeply leveraging real time communications in the way they run their operations and deliver their products and services. During this session we will share some of these keys trends, and demonstrate how Oracle is bringing together the two worlds of real time communications and industrial verticals to create new and compelling connected applications.
