About this episode

In the digital age, businesses of every size constantly look for innovative and efficient ways to embrace positive change and improve their operations. One company leading the way in this space is Vodafone Business, a part of the Vodafone Group that provides a wide range of digital communication technologies to businesses worldwide.

At the forefront of Vodafone Business's digital innovation is David Palmer, the Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Vodafone's Digital Asset Broker (DAB) platform. As a digital visionary and global platform innovator, David is an expert in blockchain technology and its applications to telecoms and wider enterprise businesses.

In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily podcast, David discusses several exciting developments in the world of digital communications, including Vodafone Business's Digital Asset Broker Platform, the economy of things, SIM linking to the blockchain, new middleware to enable IoT devices for business, device identity passports, device wallets, and the metaverse of things.

The Digital Asset Broker (DAB) platform is a blockchain-based solution that allows businesses to easily and securely manage their digital assets, such as contracts, licenses, and intellectual property, through a single platform. This innovative platform helps companies to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and improve their overall efficiency.

David also discussed the "economy of things," which is the idea that the increasing number of connected devices in our world will create new economic opportunities and revenue streams. He explained how Vodafone Business is working to enable businesses to take advantage of these opportunities by providing them with the necessary tools and infrastructure.

Another exciting development that David discussed is SIM linking to blockchain. This technology enables businesses to securely store and manage their SIM cards using blockchain, improving security and reducing the risk of fraud.

David also talks about the importance of device identity passports and device wallets, which are vital components of Vodafone Business's IoT offerings. These solutions enable businesses to securely manage and authenticate their devices, making integrating them into their operations easier.

Finally, David discussed the metaverse of things: the idea that virtual and physical worlds will become increasingly intertwined. He explained how Vodafone Business is working to enable businesses to take advantage of this trend by providing them with the necessary tools and infrastructure to operate in this new world.
