The World Communication Awards (WCA) is one of the most prestigious telecommunications awards globally, initiated by Total Telecom magazine (UK) and held annually since 1999. The judging panel consists of 70 experts representing the largest organizations in the telecommunications field such as IDC, GSA, Global Data, etc.
The Smart Cities Award is a category that seeks out effective and innovative solutions that benefit citizens and businesses, aiming to improve the quality of life for residents and enhance the efficiency of city government administration.
Experts evaluate this category based on five criteria: the scope of application of the solution; its ability to meet people's needs or improve their lives; its completeness compared to existing solutions on the market; the benefits the solution brings to the people; and the role of the organization or business in building a smart city.
Accordingly, Viettel is the only Vietnamese enterprise to be nominated and win at this year's WCA, surpassing leading giants such as China Telecom Global, KT Corporation, ZARIOT Secured SIMs, etc., who were also nominated in the same category.
