BARCELONA, Espanha, 24 de fevereiro de 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A GSMA anunciou hoje que postumamente agraciou o ex-CEO da GSMA Robert G. Conway com o primeiro Lifetime Achievement Award GSMA. Este prestigioso prêmio reconhece os esforços significativos de Rob para avançar o estado da indústria de telefonia móvel, para o benefício das operadoras de telefonia móvel, empresas em todo o ecossistema, governos, empresas e milhares de milhões de consumidores ao redor do mundo. O prêmio foi entregue aos membros da família de Rob em uma cerimônia especial no domingo, no Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel.

"Rob é um incansável defensor da indústria móvel, promovendo o trabalho positivo dos membros da operadora de telefonia móvel da GSMA e defendendo o impacto e os benefícios poderosos da telefonia móvel em todo o mundo", disse Jon Fredrik Baksaas, presidente da GSMA e presidente e CEO do Telenor Group. "Em nome do Conselho de Administração da GSMA e de toda a nossa sociedade, e como um colega de longa data e amigo, estou muito honrado por poder conceder este importante prêmio à família de Rob e compartilhar o nosso apreço por suas muitas realizações neste setor dinâmico."

Rob foi talvez melhor conhecido por sua liderança de longa data na GSMA, promovendo a associação de sua função inicial como um corpo quase normativo para a organização que representa cerca de 800 operadoras de telefonia móvel do mundo. Seu mandato de 12 anos na GSMA viu a evolução dramática e rápida da família GSM de tecnologias, passando das redes 2G para a banda larga móvel e, opor fim, as implementações comerciais do 4G LTE. Nesse período, o mundo testemunhou o lançamento dos primeiros smartphones, tablets e outros dispositivos móveis de conexão e o desenvolvimento de muitos serviços de telefonia móvel que melhoram e salvam vidas. O setor alcançou vários marcos significativos nesse período, superando 5 bilhões de conexões móveis no mundo em 2010.

Uma das realizações mais notáveis ​​de Rob na GSMA foi a aquisição do principal evento da organização, o Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel. Desde aquela época, o Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel passou de Cannes para Barcelona, ​​onde o evento tem se desenvolvido, tornando-se o evento de participação obrigatória anual do setor e atraindo mais de 75 mil participantes a cada ano.

Rob também foi fundamental nos esforços iniciais para "conectar os desconectados", catalisando todo o setor móvel através de um concurso em 2006 para desenvolver um Celular para o Mercado Emergente de US$ 30. Também foi a principal força por trás da criação da organização Mobile for Development da GSMA, que se concentra em reunir os membros da operadora de telefonia móvel da GSMA, o setor mais amplo de telefonia móvel e comunidade de desenvolvimento, para impulsionar os serviços móveis comerciais para as pessoas carentes em mercados emergentes.

A carreira de Rob na telefonia móvel estendeu-se além da GSMA. Como executivo da Motorola, ele foi fundamental na introdução da primeira implantação GSM na América Latina na década de 1990 e liderou os esforços da empresa que levaram à criação de operadoras móveis no Brasil e Egito. Rob também foi o diretor para assuntos internacionais para a VimpelCom, atuando em seu conselho de administração, de 2011 a 2013.

O Lifetime Achievement Award é parte do Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel e será concedido às 14h:30min na terça-feira, 25 de fevereiro. O Global Mobile Awards será realizado no Auditório 1, Hall 4, Fira Gran Via e está aberto aos participantes do Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel de todas as empresas selecionadas, independentemente do tipo de passe, assim como a todos os outros participantes do Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel com passes Platinum, Gold, Silver ou de Imprensa/Analista.

Siga os desenvolvimentos e atualizações sobre o Congresso Mundial de Telefonia Móvel (#MWC14) no Twitter @GSMA ou no Facebook www.facebook.com/mobileworldcongress.
