Network X will once again, be hosting the prestigious Network X Awards. The ceremony will take place on Wednesday 25 October, and will spotlight the leading telco innovations of the past year and recognize the achievements and excellence delivered across the industry.
The awards will be held at the historic Hotel de Ville as part of the wider Network X 2023 conference event, running from 24-26 October at . Currently serving as Paris’ city hall, visitors can enjoy Hotel de Ville’s rich political history as it was also previously a headquarters for both the French Revolution and the Paris Commune.
The ceremony will host up to 250 attendees, consisting of nominees, judges and special guest speakers. The awards will highlight companies from all areas of the telco industry, from 5G and cloud specialists, such as Mavenir and Orange, to broadband specialists, including Huawei and Nokia. The full list of nominees can be found here and features organisations from both the Operator and Solution Provider spaces. Notable categories include ‘Most Sustainable Network Project’, ‘Most Innovative 5G Communication Service’ and ‘Most Innovative Enterprise PON Use Case’.
Christopher Lycett, Portfolio Manager at Network X, commented: “We’re getting ready to celebrate some of the most innovative and exciting achievements from the Telco space over the past twelve months. The competition has been fierce this year, as we received a record number of worthy nominations. We’re looking forward to welcoming attendees, not only from a huge range of different organisations but also visitors from across the globe, including those from Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe.”
Evan Kirchheimer, Research VP, Telco & Service Provider at Omdia, commented: “This year’s nominees have exceeded our expectations, with each one demonstrating a significant contribution to the industry. While these awards are a great opportunity to celebrate achievements in telecommunications, they also cast a light on some of the key issues that organizations are currently facing. Green networks, for example, and the need to reduce carbon emissions are becoming top priorities across the sector. However, to meet their commitments, operators will need to change how they manage their networks. We must continue pushing these discussions to drive progress in this area, and industry events such as the Network X Awards play an important role in this.”
Network X judges are selected based on their market knowledge and industry standing, while the judging process will take place independently and anonymously.
The award winners will be announced at the event, and all shortlisted companies are expected to attend to collect their potential awards.
