5G in Poland to be pricier without Huawei – Orange Polska

WARSAW, – Excluding Huawei from developing 5G infrastructure in Poland could lead to higher costs and delays in implementing the technology, the CEO of Poland’s largest telecoms operator Orange Polska told Reuters, echoing warnings from rivals.

Huawei faces intense scrutiny over U.S.-led allegations its equipment could be used by the Chinese government for spying. The company has repeatedly denied such allegations.

Poland’s telecoms infrastructure relies heavily on Huawei’s equipment, but Washington has told allies not to use it amid broader tensions between the United States and China over trade.
