Huawei thanks Indian Govt for 5G trials permission

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

Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday 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 5G trials.
