The GLOMO Awards, held during MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, are organized by the GSMA and are considered the most prestigious awards in the mobile communications industry. This year, LG Uplus received the CTO Choice award, which is presented to the most outstanding technology among the nine winners in the mobile technology category. The CTO Choice is selected by a panel of approximately 20 CTOs from the global telecommunications industry.


LG Uplus's AI security technology was cited as the main reason for the award. LG Uplus became the first in the world to introduce the "Anti Deep Voice" technology, which detects manipulated voices in real time on-device, to its AI agent service "ixi-O." In addition, the company has significantly reduced the risk of personal information leaks by deploying advanced security technologies such as quantum-resistant cryptography, which is designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.


LG Uplus also received the "Best Network Security & Anti-Fraud" award in the mobile technology category. This award is given to operators that possess technologies capable of protecting customers and network infrastructure and ensuring service continuity in a complex cyber threat environment. LG Uplus's collection of innovative security technologies, branded as ixi-Guardian, received positive reviews.


In the "Excellent Marketing" category, LG Uplus won the newly established "Marketing for Social Value" award for the first time this year. Based on collaboration with the National Police Agency and the National Forensic Service, LG Uplus has enhanced the practicality of its technology by incorporating criminal voice data, emergency call cases, and malicious app patterns into its AI security functions. Furthermore, the company is conducting experiential and educational programs that allow customers to participate in voice phishing prevention activities not only online but also at offline stores.



Sangyeop Lee, CTO of LG Uplus, stated, "This award demonstrates that LG Uplus's AI security technology is objectively recognized on the global stage. We will continue to advance our AI security capabilities, strengthen the reliability of our telecommunications services, and deliver innovations that provide convenience to our customers."
