The commercial scale and maturity of the solution will be a critical factor in evaluating each entry.
The 2021 OnGo Awards will be judged by a panel of independent judges based on the specific improvements over alternative wired or wireless networks. Judging will be led by Joe Madden, Founder and Chief Analyst at Mobile Experts.
“As the market achieved ‘lift-off’ in the last year, each company has an exciting story to tell about their early deployments,” says Madden. “The panel of judges is looking forward to comparing some real-world stories of improved connectivity, new business models, and benefits for enterprises.”
