Ngomhlaka-16 Januwari, inkampani enkulu yezokuxhumana e-UK iVodafone yamemezela ukubambisana kweminyaka eyishumi neMicrosoft.
Phakathi kwemininingwane yokubambisana okudaluliwe kuze kube manje:
I-Vodafone izosebenzisa i-Microsoft Azure kanye nobuchwepheshe bayo be-OpenAI kanye ne-Copilot ukuthuthukisa ulwazi lwamakhasimende kanye nokwethula i-AI eyengeziwe kanye ne-cloud computing;
I-Microsoft izosebenzisa izinsizakalo zokuxhuma ezihleliwe nezeselula ze-Vodafone futhi itshale imali epulatifomu ye-IoT ye-Vodafone. Futhi ipulatifomu ye-IoT ihlelelwe ukuqeda ukuzimela kwayo ngo-Ephreli 2024, kanti kusenezinhlelo zokuxhuma izinhlobo eziningi zamadivayisi nokuthola amakhasimende amasha esikhathini esizayo.
Ibhizinisi leplatifomu ye-IoT ye-Vodafone ligxile ekuphathweni kokuxhumana. Uma sibheka idatha evela enkampanini yocwaningo i-Berg Insight's Global Cellular IoT Report 2022, ngaleso sikhathi i-Vodafone yathola ukuxhumana kwe-IoT kwamaselula okuyizigidi ezingu-160, okwabalelwa ku-6% wesabelo semakethe futhi kwaba sesine emhlabeni wonke ngemuva kwe-China Mobile enamabhiliyoni angu-1.06 (amasheya angu-39%), i-China Telecom enamabhiliyoni angu-410 (amasheya angu-15%) kanye ne-China Unicom enamabhiliyoni angu-390 (amasheya angu-14%).
Kodwa noma ngabe opharetha banenzuzo enkulu "esikalini sokuxhumana" emakethe yesikhulumi sokuphathwa kokuxhumana se-IoT, abanelisekile ngenzuzo abayitholayo kulesi sigaba.
Ngo-2022 i-Ericsson izothengisa ibhizinisi layo le-IoT ku-IoT Accelerator kanye ne-Connected Vehicle Cloud komunye umthengisi, i-Aeris.
Ipulatifomu ye-IoT Accelerator yayinamakhasimende ebhizinisi angaphezu kuka-9,000 emhlabeni jikelele emuva ngo-2016, iphatha amadivayisi e-IoT angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-95 kanye nokuxhumeka kwe-eSIM okuyizigidi ezingu-22 emhlabeni jikelele.
Kodwa-ke, i-Ericsson ithi: ukuhlukana kwemakethe ye-IoT kuholele inkampani ekwenzeni imbuyiselo elinganiselwe (noma ngisho nokulahlekelwa) ekutshalweni kwayo imali kule makethe futhi ithathe ingxenye encane kuphela yochungechunge lwenani lomkhakha isikhathi eside, yingakho inqume ukugxila izinsiza zayo kwezinye izindawo ezinenzuzo kakhulu.
Amapulatifomu okuphatha ukuxhumana kwe-IoT angenye yezinketho "zokunciphisa ijubane", okuyinto evamile embonini, ikakhulukazi lapho ibhizinisi eliyinhloko leQembu liphazamiseka.
NgoMeyi 2023, iVodafone yakhipha imiphumela yayo ye-FY2023 ngenzuzo yonyaka wonke engamaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-45.71, okuwukwenyuka okuncane okungu-0.3% unyaka nonyaka. Isiphetho esihlaba umxhwele kakhulu esivela kudatha ukuthi ukukhula kokusebenza kwenkampani kwakuyehla, kanti i-CEO entsha, uMargherita Della Valle, wabeka uhlelo lokuvuselela ngaleso sikhathi, ethi iVodafone kwakufanele ishintshe futhi idinga ukusabalalisa kabusha izinsiza zenkampani, ukwenza lula inhlangano, nokugxila ekhwalithini yesevisi amakhasimende ayo ayeyilindele ukuze aphinde athole ukuncintisana futhi abambe ukukhula.
Ngesikhathi kukhishwa uhlelo lokuvuselela, iVodafone yamemezela izinhlelo zokunciphisa abasebenzi eminyakeni emithathu ezayo, kanti nezindaba zokuthi “icabanga ukuthengisa iyunithi yayo yebhizinisi le-Internet of Things, enenani elilinganiselwa ku-£1bn” nazo zakhishwa.
Kwaze kwaba yilapho kumenyezelwa ukubambisana neMicrosoft lapho ikusasa leplatifomu yokuphatha ukuxhumana kwe-IoT yeVodafone lachazwa kabanzi.
Ukulungisa imbuyiselo elinganiselwe ekutshalweni kwezimali kwe-Connection Management Platform
Ipulatifomu yokuphatha ukuxhumana inengqondo.
Ikakhulukazi njengoba inani elikhulu lamakhadi e-IoT kufanele lixhunywe nabasebenzi abaningi emhlabeni jikelele, okuyinqubo ende yokuxhumana kanye nokuhlanganiswa okuthatha isikhathi, ipulatifomu ehlangene izosiza abasebenzisi ukwenza ukuhlaziywa kwethrafikhi kanye nokuphathwa kwamakhadi ngendlela ehlanzeke kakhulu nephumelelayo.
Isizathu esenza ukuthi abaqhubi bahlanganyele kulo makethe ukuthi bangakhipha amakhadi e-SIM ngenkathi behlinzeka ngamakhono esevisi yesofthiwe ukuthuthukisa ukuncintisana komkhakha.
Izizathu ezenza abathengisi bamafu omphakathi njengeMicrosoft Azure bahlanganyele kule makethe: okokuqala, kunengozi ethile yokwehluleka ebhizinisini lokuxhumana kwenethiwekhi lomuntu oyedwa opharetha wezokuxhumana, futhi kunendawo yokusebenzisa imakethe eyingqayizivele; okwesibili, noma kungenzeki ukuthola imali engenayo ngqo ekuphathweni kokuxhumeka kwamakhadi e-IoT, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi kungasiza amakhasimende embonini ukuxazulula inkinga yokuphathwa kokuxhumeka, kunethuba elikhulu lokubanikeza imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ze-IoT ezilandelayo, noma ukwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo nezinsizakalo zamafu.
Kukhona nesigaba sesithathu sabadlali embonini, okungukuthi, ama-ejenti kanye nama-startup, lolu hlobo lwabathengisi luhlinzeka ngeplatifomu yokuphathwa kokuxhumeka kunabaqhubi beplatifomu yokuphathwa kokuxhumeka okukhulu, umehluko ulele ekutheni inqubo ilula kakhulu, umkhiqizo ulula kakhulu, impendulo emakethe iguquguquka kakhulu, futhi eduze nezidingo zabasebenzisi bezindawo ezikhethekile, imodeli yesevisi ngokuvamile "amakhadi e-IoT + iplatifomu yokuphathwa + izixazululo". Futhi ngokuqina komncintiswano embonini, ezinye izinkampani zizokwandisa ibhizinisi lazo ukuze zenze amamojula, izixazululo zehadiwe noma zesicelo, ngemikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezitholakala kanye kuphela kumakhasimende amaningi.
Ngamafuphi, kuqala ngokuphathwa koxhumano, kodwa akugcini ngokuphathwa koxhumano.
- Esigabeni sokuphathwa kokuxhumeka, i-IoT Media AIoT StarMap Research Institute iqoqe imininingwane yephakheji yethrafikhi yomkhiqizo we-Huawei Cloud Global SIM Connection (GSL) ku-2023 IoT Platform Industry Research Report kanye ne-Casebook, futhi kungabonakala nokuthi ukwandisa inani lokuxhumeka nokuxhuma amadivayisi anenani eliphezulu kakhulu yimibono emibili eyinhloko yokwandisa imali engenayo yepulatifomu yokuphathwa kokuxhumeka, ikakhulukazi njengoba uxhumano ngalunye lwe-IoT lwezinga labathengi lunganikeli okuningi emalini engenayo yonyaka.
- Ngale kokuphathwa kokuxhumeka, njengoba inkampani yocwaningo i-Omdia isho embikweni wayo othi "Izeluleko ze-Vodafone at IoT spinoff", amapulatifomu okuvumela uhlelo lokusebenza akhiqiza imali engenayo ephindwe ka-3-7 ngokuxhumeka kunamapulatifomu okuphatha uxhumano ngokuxhumeka ngakunye. Amabhizinisi angacabanga ngezindlela zebhizinisi ngaphezu kokuphathwa kokuxhumeka, futhi ngikholwa ukuthi ukusebenzisana kwe-Microsoft ne-Vodafone ngamapulatifomu e-IoT kuzosekelwe kulo mqondo.
Izoba yini indawo yemakethe "yezinkundla zokuphatha ukuxhumana"?
Uma sikhuluma ngobuqotho, ngenxa yomphumela wesikali, abadlali abakhulu bazodla kancane kancane ingxenye ejwayelekile yemakethe yokuphathwa kokuxhumana. Esikhathini esizayo, kungenzeka ukuthi kuzoba nabadlali abazophuma emakethe, kuyilapho abanye abadlali bezothola usayizi omkhulu wemakethe.
Nakuba eShayina, ngenxa yezizinda ezahlukene zezinkampani, imikhiqizo yomqhubi ayikwazi ukulinganiswa ukuze ihlangabezane nezidingo zabo bonke amakhasimende, khona-ke ijubane labadlali abakhulu lokuhlanganisa imakethe lizohamba kancane kunakwamanye amazwe, kodwa ekugcineni kuzoba yindlela ezinzile yabadlali abayinhloko.
Kulesi simo, sinethemba elikhulu ngabathengisi abaphumayo ekuguqukeni, bemba isikhala esikhulayo, isikhala sokuguqulwa, usayizi wemakethe mkhulu, umncintiswano wemakethe mncane, kanye nekhono lokukhokhela izingxenye zemakethe zokuphathwa kokuxhumeka.
Eqinisweni kunezinkampani ezenza kanjalo.
