| The UK bans the installation of Huawei devices after September 2021 |
The United Kingdom has approached the UK government to remove Huawei devices from the 5G network. The British government said on Monday: British Telecom is not expected to install any new Huawei devices for 5G networks after September 2021. This is before September 2021. The expected date.
This is part of a plan to remove Chinese companies' devices from mobile broadband networks.
The United Kingdom has ordered to work with allies, including the United States, to remove all Huawei devices from its 5G network by the end of 2027. The latter said the company poses a security risk.
China criticized the decision and last week Huawei expressed its disappointment. With the UK seeking to ban it from the 5G network following the publication of the new law, the company could be fined up to 100,000 pounds ($ 133,140) for violating the ban.
Monday's announcement came before parliament debated a new telecoms law and set a timetable for equipment removal.
“It has paved the way for the complete elimination of high-risk providers from 5G networks,” Digital Affairs Minister Oliver Dowden said in a statement.
He added: This is an unprecedented new force to identify and block communication devices that pose a threat to our national security.
The government also announced a new strategy to diversify the supply chain for 5G devices, with initial investments amounting to 250 million pounds.
After banning the Chinese company Huawei from joining the 5G network, it also announced a new partnership with the Japanese telecom company NEC.
NEC is expected to launch an open 5G wireless access network in the UK in 2021 - a new way to create a communications network that can use components from different providers on a single cellular network.
After the end of the year, the UK banned the purchase of new Huawei 5G devices.
Britain said its July decision was influenced by concerns that US sanctions could affect chip technology on the utility line, while Huawei said at the time that the decision was a disappointment and had not been decided yet on US trade policy rather than security.
