Telefónica Deutschland expands its mobile business portfolio, offering even more data volume starting 18 September. With up to 30 GB of monthly high-speed data volume, this leaves virtually no limits to working efficiently on the move. Effective of the same day, Telefónica Deutschland expands its portfolio by the new O₂ Business Basic tariffs for companies whose employees require only small amounts of data. The focus of the flexible voice tariff is on calls. Business customers can customize their O₂ Business Basic tariffs thanks to a wide range of options – from smartphones to extra data volume.

People moving to major cities like Berlin is putting urban transport under growing pressure. To optimise transport planning, city councils and transport operators need precise data. With this in mind, eight project partners including Telefónica NEXT have joined forces in the ProTrain project to optimise local public transport in Berlin-Brandenburg, using numerous data sources.

In cooperation with Intraplan, a consultancy firm in the transport sector, Telefónica NEXT is now offering one of the most detailed data analyses for transport planning in Munich. The partners are calculating movement flows from anonymised mobile network data from Telefónica Deutschland. The related findings are intended as a comprehensive supplement to previous transport analyses.

Telefónica NEXT introduced its Internet of Things platform "Geeny" to interested developers and companies at a technology conference in San Francisco. They can now use the alpha version of the platform to develop intelligently networked consumer products and services together.

With the takeover of the Berlin-based start-up Minodes, Telefónica NEXT strengthens its competence in intelligent data analysis for offline retail. The core competency of Minodes is the analysis of anonymised customer flows within a shop. This provides offline retailers with the analytical and marketing possibilities of online retail. It allows them to better tailor their offers to the needs of their customers and to provide a better shopping experience.

In a data-driven society, every individual should be able to decide what happens to their personal data. This is where O₂ GET comes in: Users can decide for themselves which personal information they’d like to enter into their O₂ GET account, and also which companies and brands within the app they want to interact with.

Large cities are faced with constantly increasing pollution. But before cities can take specific measures against this problem, they first have to know where pollution is especially high. To this end, they require extensive data. As part of a pilot project in Nuremberg, for the first time, a method was developed that enables the analysis of traffic flows, and subsequently of air quality, using anonymised mobile network data. The approach is promising, which is why the methodology will be further developed in a follow-up project.

The team of Telefónica NEXT works with various data in order to develop solutions for cities, retail and many other areas. But a wealth of data is worthless without data protection. Not only is the data comprehensively protected, but clients also remain in control.

As part of its digital transformation, Telefónica Deutschland, with its start-up Telefónica NEXT, is advancing the Internet of Things (IoT) for end consumers. At CeBIT, Telefónica NEXT for the first time presents a number of concrete products that are made smart by the specifically developed IoT software platform “Geeny.”
