SK Telecom announced on March 5 that it received the "Best Cloud Solution Award" at the GSMA Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) 2026 for its B200-based GPU cluster, "Haein."
The GLOMO Awards are organized by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), which hosts the "MWC 2026" telecommunications technology exhibition in Barcelona, Spain.
Haein is a high-performance GPU infrastructure composed of more than 1,000 units of NVIDIA’s next-generation AI accelerator chip, "Blackwell," in a single cluster. Based on this, SK Telecom provides GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) to its customers.

Based on Haein, SK Telecom offers an optimized computing environment for large-scale AI model training and inference, enabling customers to flexibly utilize GPU resources when needed.
The Haein GPU cluster was selected for the Ministry of Science and ICT’s "AI Computing Resource Utilization Enhancement (GPU Rental Support) Project," supporting the "Independent AI Foundation Model" project.
