Huawei receives 5 laurels from Mobile World Congress 2021

ICT solutions provider Huawei has brought home five awards for its cutting-edge technology and inventions from the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2021) held in Barcelona from 28 June to 1 July, a news release said.

This year, the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) announced the winners of the 2021 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards.

Huawei bagged awards in five categories–best innovation for Covid-19 pandemic response and recovery, outstanding mobile contribution to the UN SDGs, best mobile innovation in emerging markets, best mobile innovation for the connected economy, and best mobile infrastructure.

Huawei has achieved the best innovation for Covid-19 pandemic response and recovery for its 5G network solutions at the China-Japan friendship hospital.

The technology helped the hospital to scale up patient services and assist more than 5,000 hospitals across China.

Marvin Chen, president of Huawei DIS Product Line, said, on winning this award, “Huawei will continue to innovate 5G solutions together with the healthcare industry to develop 5G applications that can help fight the pandemic and get more value out of 5G.”

Rainforest Connection and Huawei’s ‘Nature Guardian’ project bagged the GLOMO for outstanding mobile contribution to the UN SDGs as it has facilitated conservation of nature, prevent deforestation, and safeguard against biodiversity loss.

The best mobile innovation in emerging markets’ award has come for Huawei’s industry-first integrated access and backhaul solution (RuralStar Pro), which has superseded traditional costly transmission modes of optical fiber, microwave, and satellite.

Introduced in 1996 by the GSMA and judged by a panel of more than 250 global mavens, the GLOMO award is widely regarded as the highest honor within the mobile industry, the press release adds.
