At the Glotel 2022 Awards, all of the awards Huawei won recognised both digital transformation and productive partnerships with operators around the globe. In 2022, Huawei and carrier operators have contributed to the acceleration digital operational transformation and have delivered significant business value.
The Glotel Awards were back as a live, physical, event this year and the winners represented a great cross section of an industry going from strength to strength.
The quantity and quality of entries to the 2022 Glotel Awards reveal a telecoms industry that hasn’t missed a step over a tricky few years.
Ahead of the event, Omdia analysts share their predictions regarding the key themes and how they are expected to develop over the next year.
Despite having months to prepare, many companies have left it to the last minute to submit their entries to the 2022 Glotel Awards.
The pod is blessed by no less than two special guests this week. First we chat to Analyst James Crawshaw from Omdia about the recent Digital Transformation Event they all attended in Copenhagen and reflect on the eponymous topic as well as whatever larks were had on tour. James then makes way for Paula Gilbert who edits the Connecting Africa site. She and the guys discuss the latest telecoms developments in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent.
The world’s leading international trade show for the telecoms industry will stay put in its Barcelona home for at least another 7 years.
The biggest and best version of the Global Telecoms Awards is open for submissions and looking forward to its first in-person winners evening for three years.
The lads are delighted to welcome special guest Geoff Hollingworth, CMO of Rakuten Symphony, this week. Unsurprisingly they start by discussing all things Rakuten, including its entry into mobile and the creation of Symphony. Everyone on the pod except Scott was at the Big 5G Event in the US last week so they move on to a review of that, before finishing with a quick look at the latest Ericsson news.
At Barcelona this year, the focus was more on the enterprise market and private networks along with ‘open’ multivendor solutions and webscalers.
We’re back in the studio and reunited with Iain this week. Seeing as they weren’t able to pod together at the show, the lads start with a recap of Mobile World Congress. They move on to talk about the awkward situation Ericsson has found itself in over its historical activities in Iraq before concluding with a look at the implications for the telecoms industry in the Ukraine conflict.
This special episode of the pod was recorded on the Orange stand at Mobile World Congress 2022 so, technically, it’s not ‘live’ but you know what we mean. Scott decides to tag-team three guests and starts by chatting to Phillipe Lucas of Orange to get his impressions of this first full version of the show for three years. That line of conversation is carried over to friend of the Pod Mary Clark and then Telecoms.com Deputy Editor Andrew Wooden, with Iain Morris of Light Reading apparently having better things to do than turn up.
The return of Mobile World Congress went better than many people thought it would, especially considering the difficult circumstances around it.
MWC 2022 was supposed to mark a return to normal after the two-year pandemic, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine has ensured that won’t be the case.
Ahead of the return of the telecoms industry’s biggest trade show, analyst firm Omdia has given some collective thought to what we might end up chatting about there.
After being blown off course by hurricane Dave last week, the lads return for a special episode devoted to anticipating the major themes of Mobile World Congress next week. Inevitably 5G will dominate, with the pandemic-induced three-year gap between shows offering the opportunity to reflect on progress made over that time. Not many people were talking about OpenRAN and public cloud at MWC 19, but those technologies will be prominent this year, so they anticipate those chats too.
Mobile trade body the GSMA, which runs the Mobile World Congress trade show, said it expects around 50,000 attendees at the event later this month.
After an extended break due to Christmas and Omicron, the lads are back in the studio. They start with an assessment of the Rona situation as we start the year and what that means for MWC. The main segments have a forward-looking feel, starting with a look at the prospects for OpenRAN and specifically Rakuten’s role in it. They move on to discuss the dilemma UK operators face regarding the reintroduction of roaming charges before concluding with a look at Huawei’s prospects.
Matter – the connectivity standard backed by tech’s heavy hitters – is designed to make the smart home concept more appealing and feasible, but will anyone outside the industry care?
As CES 2022 enters its closing moments we spoke to in-person attendee Frederick Reynolds from MicroAI, to get his thoughts on how it’s gone amid the restrictions and exhibitor cancellations.
