Oracle sells business software and competes for cloud market share with Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google.Dish is building a cloud-based 5G network as it works to expand its wireless business and diversify outside its legacy satellite pay-TV market. It has selected Oracle Cloud to provide the service-based architecture for the 5G network. “Oracle’s capabilities will essentially serve as the control tower of our network core, enabling our customers to consume software on demand,” said Marc Rouanne, chief network officer at Dish Wireless.The financial terms of the deal were not revealed, but it gives Oracle an important role in Dish’s 5G network build-out project. In addition to the Dish Wireless contract, Oracle also announced teaming up with Oxford University in an arrangement that involves using its cloud resources to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
