Huawei has for a very long time been at the center of many problems related to the products it sells, the US managing to convince almost the entire world to give up some of them, and not to sell certain electronic components to the Chinese. After all of Europe blocked, officially or unofficially, the use of Huawei's telecommunications equipment in their own mobile networks, Germany has a completely different opinion vis-à-vis the security risks that these equipment have.
Huawei would not have its telecommunications equipment banned in Germany, according to the spokesman of the country's economy ministry, something that comes as excellent news for the company. In practice, Huawei could sell its telecommunications equipment to its German partners, but only if they comply with the rigors of a 2020 law that establishes the conditions under which mobile telecommunications equipment can be used in Germany by telecommunications operators.
Huawei: The EXCELLENT News Announced by a Great European Power
Huawei should have the telecommunications equipment carefully analyzed to see if they have security problems, if they can be controlled remotely by the company, etc. In order for Huawei equipment to be allowed to be used in Germany, they must have constantly released updates of the included software, and must quickly resolve any kind of operational or security problems that are discovered.
Huawei should meet a series of requirements that the law establishes in order to allow the use of safe equipment, but it is hard to believe that it will be able to comply with them, even if it does not have access to such an important market. Even so, the fact that Huawei does not have the equipment completely banned in Germany is an extremely important thing, but the decision is probably based on the authorities' conviction that it could not be respected anyway by the Chinese company.
Huawei is trying hard to convince Europe to allow the use of its equipment in local telecommunications networks, but the chances of this happening are slim.
