During the Dutch Community event in Barcelona, GSMA CEO John Hoffman congratulated BroadForward CEO Taco Schoute with winning the GLOMO Award for Best Mobile & Network Software Breakthrough. With 6 previous GLOMO nominations for Best Mobile Technology, the GSMA gave the highest honor to BroadForward for their converged signaling solution enabling “4G-5G Hybrid Core” deployment models, uniquely allowing operators to opt for a gradual transition from 4G to 5G Core rather than a hard cut-over. John Hoffman, reminded the audience that “Winning the GLOMO means BroadForward are among the best of the best”.
