Vodafone, Google Expand Partnership With Billion-Plus Dollar Deal
By Adria Calatayud
Vodafone Group and Google expanded an existing partnership to add artificial-intelligence features across a range of products and services in a 10-year, billion-plus dollar deal.
The partnership between the U.S. tech giant and the U.K. telecommunications group aims to extend the use of devices powered by generative AI, through Google's Gemini models, to Vodafone's customers in Europe and Africa, the companies said.
As part of the agreement, Vodafone will be able to offer Google One AI Premium subscription plans in select territories by next year and will add AI capabilities to its TV offering, the companies said.
Vodafone will also use Google Cloud's Vertex AI enterprise platform and develop a new cloud security service, they added.
The companies didn't detail the financial elements of the agreement.
