The deployment of 5G across Europe would be affected if governments ban Chinese vendor over security concerns, Bloomberg reported, citing an internal assessment by German carrier Deutsche Telekom.
According to the briefing, the removal of Huawei from the list of 5G suppliers would delay the rollout of 5G by at least two years.
In its internal assessment, the German telco highlighted that 5G networks must be built on top of existing 4G infrastructure, which already relies extensively on Huawei equipment.
