5G rollout: Huawei finds support from telecom industry

Even as the government is yet to take a call regarding participation of Chinese firm Huawei in the rollout of 5G network, industry support for the Chinese gear maker has started pouring in. On Thursday, Bharti Enterprises chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal happened to be the first industry voice to speak in favour of Huawei and its technology, terming it superior to European rivals Ericsson and Nokia, and stating that the company should be allowed in the country’s 5G play.

“I can safely say their (Huawei) products in 3G and 4G that we have experienced are significantly superior to Ericsson and Nokia,” Mittal said at an industry event.
