The Winners of the Asia Communication Awards 2020

2020 has been an exciting year for the telecoms industry, a time of great upheaval and unexpected challenges. But it has also been a time to celebrate flexibility and innovation, with the telecoms industry coming together to deliver the robust connectivity that keeps the modern world moving forward. 

 

The ACAs this year featured 22 categories, looking to reward companies for everything from technical innovation to exceptional social contributions towards improving society. The awards were more hotly contested than ever, leaving the judges with long debates as to who should win. In many categories, the decisions were so close that the judges in fact decided to award special commendations to entrants who only narrowly missed taking home the award themselves. 

 

Without further ado, Total Telecom, in collaboration with the ACA’s title partner NTT, are delighted to announce the incredible winners of this year’s Awards.
