Sadly, the organisation&#8217;s award&#8217;s page reveals nothing about how the awards themselves are chosen and judged (i.e. take with a pinch of salt).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>UKWISPA Awards 2023 &#8211; Winners<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Community Engagement<\/strong><br \/>\nWildanet<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rural Hero<\/strong><br \/>\nMike Hicks &#8211; CFWN<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Hybrid Fibre\/Wireless, sponsored by Cambium Networks<\/strong><br \/>\nAlncom<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Customer Experience, sponsored by Calix<\/strong><br \/>\nWildanet<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation<\/strong><br \/>\nWISDM by Wireless Coverage<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gigabit Wireless Project<\/strong><br \/>\nGigaAir<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outstanding Team Member<\/strong><br \/>\nThomas Richardson &#8211; Village Networks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Next we have the Comms National Awards, which each year works to recognise the stand-out organisations, technologies, leaders and innovations in the communications and ICT communities. The winners are selected by a team of nine judges from the wider industry and associated sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The event covers a ridiculous number of categories (reflecting the complexity of the sector and its many different services), which makes it hard to see how such a small judging team could be expected to confidently and accurately appraise so many options. But the standouts for us were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">CityFibre<\/a> winning the &#8216;Best Network&#8217; crown and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ms3\" target=\"_blank\">MS3<\/a> being named as the &#8216;Best AltNet&#8217;.
