Huawei, a global technology company, has secured eight prestigious Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026, reinforcing its position as a leading innovator in the global telecommunications and digital technology ecosystem.

The awards, presented by the GSMA, recognised Huawei’s contributions across multiple areas of mobile technology and digital innovation, including network infrastructure, artificial intelligence, fintech, digital health, and accessibility.

Huawei won accolades for Best Mobile Network Infrastructure, Best AI Powered Network Solution, Best Non-Terrestrial Network Solution, Best Mobile Operator Service for Connected Consumers, Best Mobile Innovation for Connected Health and Wellbeing, Best FinTech & Digital Commerce Innovation, Best Use of Mobile for Accessibility & Inclusion, and Best Mobile Innovation for Enhancing the Lives of Children and Young People.

The GSMA GLOMO Awards are regarded as one of the most influential recognitions in the mobile communications industry. A panel of leading industry experts selects the winners by evaluating technological breakthroughs, innovative applications, and contributions to industry development.

Huawei’s Best Mobile Network Infrastructure award highlighted the company’s innovations in ultra-broadband connectivity, multi-antenna technology, and energy-efficient network design. These solutions are enabling telecom operators to build AI-powered networks that support the evolution of advanced 5G infrastructure while reducing energy consumption.

In the Best AI Powered Network Solution category, Huawei partnered with China Mobile to develop an “AI+Network” operation transformation solution designed to enhance autonomous network operations. The system incorporates the world’s first carrier-grade A2A-T multi-agent communication protocol, enabling intelligent collaboration across network domains.

Huawei also received the Best Non-Terrestrial Network Solution award through its collaboration with China Telecom, which developed technology allowing direct communication between smartphones and Tiantong satellites. The innovation enables satellite connectivity for mobile phones and in-car infotainment systems, supporting communications in maritime and remote environments.

In the fintech category, Huawei and Safaricom were recognised for the Ziidi Wealth Platform, a digital investment solution launched in Kenya in 2025. The platform allows users—particularly middle- and low-income earners—to invest in a money market fund through mobile devices, helping expand financial inclusion across Africa.

Huawei also earned recognition for its work in digital healthcare and education. Its Ubiquitous AI Health Assistant, developed with China Mobile, transforms the mobile phone dialer into an AI-powered health service platform, offering consultations, medical assistance, and health management tools.

In education, Huawei’s digital learning initiative has already supported dozens of schools, trained more than 600 rural teachers, and benefited over 5,000 students, while nationwide programmes have trained nearly 180,000 teachers.

Held from March 2 to March 5 in Barcelona, Spain, Mobile World Congress 2026 served as a global platform for Huawei to showcase its latest technologies and digital solutions aimed at advancing connectivity, financial inclusion, and intelligent services worldwide.
