GSMA ANNOUNCES 2017 ASIA MOBILE AWARDS
The GSMA today announced the Asia Mobile Awards (the AMO Awards) at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017. Judged by a panel of leading independent industry experts, the AMO Awards celebrate the greatest achievements and innovations across the Asian mobile industry. The AMO Awards will include 13 awards over five categories: 'Best Mobile Apps', 'Best Mobile Devices', 'Best Technology Innovation', 'Outstanding Achievement', and the new category of 'Social and Economic Development'.
Within these categories, the GSMA has introduced several new awards, including one for 'Disruptive Device Innovation', which will recognise connected devices that deliver new capabilities and experiences; the 'Outstanding Contribution for LTE Evolution to 5G' award, which will highlight the pioneers driving the transition from today's well-established high-speed mobile broadband services to the networks of the future; and the 'Best IoT Innovation for Mobile Networks' award, which will put the spotlight on new and creative IoT solutions. The 'Best Mobile Innovation to Support the UN SDGs in Asia' award will recognise mobile innovations in the Asia region that address the challenges set out in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are focused on ending poverty, combating climate change and fighting injustice and inequality.
