The finalists of the Asia Communication Awards represent innovation and excellence in the region
Launched by Total Telecom in 2012 the Asia Communication Awards are the region’s leading platform for recognising innovation and excellence amongst communication service providers, suppliers and other participants based in the Asia region or with product offerings specifically serving the region.
For 2021 we totally reimagined the categories and enhanced the judging panel to ensure these are the only awards you want to win in Asia. This resulted in a record number of entries from more than 50 organisations spread across countries including Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam as well as from South Asia and Oceania.
The winners and finalists are determined by the assessment of a panel of expert judges that includes: Michael Ang, the President of The Association of the Telecommunications Industry of Singapore (ATiS), Roy Chua of AvidThink, Robert Fox from Foxcom, Dustin Kehoe of GlobalData, May-Ann Lim representing the Asia Cloud Computing Association, Dr Thavisak Manodham from Laos Ministry of Post and Telecommunication, Shiv Putcha. the Founder & Principal Analyst of Mandala Insights, Allan Rasmussen of Yozzo, Amy Saunders the Editor of Satellite Evolution Group, Dion Teo from Analysys Mason, Girish Trivedi, Co Founder of Monk Consulting, and Hugh Ujhazy from IDC. Plus of course, our own editor, Harry Baldock!
For this years awards, we are grateful to have the support of CloudSense who facilitate operators providing a better customer experience while improving business performance.
Winners of this years awards will be named at the virtual awards ceremony on the 14 December 2021 at 6pm SGT. You and your colleagues are very welcome to join us – please register for free HERE
