The Global Mobile Awards honor the most innovative products and services in eight main categories spanning the areas of mobile apps, consumer devices, connected life and infrastructure.

AT&T secured the following recognition:
AT&T Digital Life
- Winner, Best Consumer Mobile Service
- AT&T Digital Life is an all-digital home security and automation service that offers on-the-go access to your home from virtually anywhere using your smartphone or tablet, as well as your computer.

- Winner, Best Mobile Enabled Consumer Electronics Device (Joint entry with Filip Technologies, Inc.)
