Germany’s telecoms regulator Bundesnetzagentur confirmed that Chinese vendor Huawei will not be excluded from 5G contracts in the country, the Financial Times reported Jochen Homann, the president of the agency, as saying.
“The position the Bundesnetzagentur takes is that no equipment supplier, including Huawei, should, or may, be specifically excluded.”
The U.S. government has been recently urging European governments to ban Huawei infrastructure from their 5G networks, arguing that the Chinese authorities could use the vendor’s technology to conduct espionage.
