Huawei confident UK will make 5G decision based on the evidence
LONDON: China’s Huawei said it was confident Britain would assess the evidence in deciding whether its equipment should be deployed in 5G networks after the United States said it would be “madness” to allow use of the technology.
Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson said earlier on Tuesday that Huawei’s critics needed to say what alternative technology should be used instead, although he added that he would not make any decisions that risked national security or Britain’s co-operation with intelligence-sharing partners.
A decision is expected this month on whether to allow Huawei to supply some “non-core” parts for the UK network.
