The official shortlist for this year's Global Carrier Awards has been announced.

Back live and in-person, taking place during Capacity Europe 2022, the ceremony will be held on 19 October at the Indigo at The O₂ in London.

With 32 categories, the awards are the most prestigious awards programme in wholesale telecoms and connectivity, celebrating its 19th year in operation.

Nominations opened in March bringing in a record number of 280+ entries for 2022, with the independent judging panel hard at work over the course of August to score each and every one.

Chaired by Head Judge, Carl Roberts, partner at Hadaara Consulting, the panel of 23 judges has whittled all these entries into a shortlist that recognises the best and most innovative players by region, specialism and industry sector.

The team at Capacity Media would like to wish all this year’s shortlisted companies the best of luck for the Global Carrier Awards and we look forward to seeing you next month!
