Huawei is the subject of an announcement made by the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, in the context in which Europe has not yet decided what it wants to do in relation to allowing, or prohibiting, the use of 5G equipment in its networks. NATO has long issued warnings about Huawei and the security risks brought by the company's equipment, and now we have new proof that there is not much sympathy for the Chinese.
Huawei is to have its role in the 5G networks in Great Britain re-analyzed by the government in London, and the Secretary General of NATO praised Boris Johnson's initiative to look more closely at the final impact of the measure. In January, the UK government decided that Huawei could provide some 5G equipment for local telephone networks, but this decision is now to be reversed, and its role to be even more reduced, or completely eliminated.
Huawei: NATO announcement, what Secretary General Stoltenberg says
Huawei is now allowed to supply 5G equipment to be used in non-essential areas of UK 5G networks, but it seems that this limitation is going to be even more "limited". It is possible that Boris Johnson will decide that Huawei will not supply any equipment for the future 5G networks that will be made in the UK, or at least this is asking the US for a very long time from its old ally, and the pressure could force such a decision to be made .
“I trust that the UK government will design its networks in ways that protect the networks and ensure that the UK has secure 5G networks. So I also think it's important that there is now a new review looking at exactly how to make sure that should happen."
Huawei he constantly maintained his position and said that his products do not represent a risk for the national security of any country, but the Corona virus pandemic has changed a lot, including the relationship of some countries with China. In this idea, NATO is actively involved in this situation, which of course is not favorable to Huawei, and which of course puts it in a bad situation, but many expected such measures to be reached in Europe.
Huawei will continue to collaborate with any partners it can, its 5G equipment being the most accessible of all, they are praised by telecommunications operators, but the political side has completely different objectives.
