Electronics & Telecommunications Awards in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a connectivity hub — cables from across the Pacific and the region land here, data centres serve the mainland and the region from Tseung Kwan O and Kwai Chung, and four mobile operators compete in a small, saturated, high-usage market — and an electronics trading and design centre, from the component shops of Sham Shui Po to the Hong Kong-owned device brands whose products are designed in the city and made across the boundary. ICT integrators and managed-service providers serve the finance industry's demanding requirements; the electronics fairs each spring and autumn bring the world's buyers.

The Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 electronics and telecom categories cover operators, connectivity and data-centre companies, manufacturers, traders, device brands and integrators at Asia level; the World Technology Awards covers technology products; the leadership programmes recognise the people behind them.

What the jury will ask a telecom or electronics company

What do you provide, and at what scale? Networks, capacity, products, footprint. How is it performing? Subscribers, customers, capacity sold, revenue, coverage — over a defined period, indexed if needed. How reliable? Availability, speed, uptime, yield, satisfaction. Is it certified? ISO 27001, 9001, 14001, OFCA licences, data-centre tier and efficiency ratings. What is new? 5G services, data-centre capacity, cable landings, device launches, with dates. Regional roles — interconnection, mainland data-centre demand, device distribution across Asia — are distinctive when quantified.
