Huawei thanks Indian government for 5G trials permission, says committed to India

China’s telecommunications giant Huawei thanked the Indian government for permitting the company to take part in the upcoming trials for 5G networks on Tuesday. It said that it was committed to India, and that only technology innovations and high quality networks will be the key to rejuvenating the the country’s telecom industry.

On Monday, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the government will allocate airwaves to all telecom service providers for conducting trials of super-fast speed 5G networks.

Huawei rivals western equipment makers, such as Ericsson, and is banned in the US. Many countries, however, have allowed telecom service providers to use Chinese gears. And now, India has also indicated its unwillingness to keep any company out of the 5G trials.
