Greenland to pick Ericsson over Huawei for 5G rollout

COPENHAGEN: Greenland will pick Sweden’s Ericsson over China’s Huawei to supply equipment for its fifth-generation (5G) telecoms network, state telecoms operator Tele Greenland said on Thursday.

“5G is coming to Greenland, but no date has been set for this yet. We do not see Huawei as a possible supplier of (Tele Greenland’s) 5G network,” CEO Kristian Reinert Davidsen told broadcaster KNR.

His comments were confirmed to Reuters by a Tele Greenland spokeswoman.
