The UK’s mobile providers are being banned from buying new Huawei 5G equipment after 31 December, and they must also remove all the Chinese firm’s 5G kit from their networks by 2027.
Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden told the House of Commons of the decision.
It follows sanctions imposed by Washington, which claims the firm poses a national security threat - something Huawei denies.
Mr Dowden said the supply ban would delay the UK’s 5G rollout by a year.
The technology promises faster internet speeds and the capacity to support more wireless devices, which should be a boon to everything from mobile gaming to higher-quality video streams, and even in time driverless cars that talk to each other. 5G connections are already available in dozens of UK cities and towns, but coverage can be sparse.
Mr Dowden added that the cumulative cost of the moves when coupled with earlier restrictions announced against Huawei would be up to £2bn, and a total delay to 5G rollout of “two to three years”.
“This has not been an easy decision, but it is the right one for the UK telecoms networks, for our national security and our economy, both now and indeed in the long run,” he said.

Because the US sanctions only affect future equipment, the government has been advised there is no security justification for removing 2G, 3G and 4G equipment supplied by Huawei.

However, when swapping out the company’s masts, networks are likely to switch to a different vendor to provide the earlier-generation services.

Huawei said the move was “bad news for anyone in the UK with a mobile phone” and threatened to “move Britain into the digital slow lane, push up bills and deepen the digital divide.”

The action, however, does not affect Huawei’s ability to sell its smartphones to consumers or how they will run.

China’s ambassador to the UK said the decision was “disappointing and wrong”.

“It has become questionable whether the UK can provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for companies from other countries,” tweeted Liu Xiaoming.

But US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo welcomed the news, saying: “The UK joins a growing list of countries from around the world that are standing up for their national security by prohibiting the use of untrusted, high-risk vendors.”

New restrictions will also apply to use of the company’s broadband kit.

Operators are being told they should “transition away” from purchasing new Huawei equipment for use in full-fibre networks, ideally within the next two years.

Mr Dowden said the government would “embark on a short technical consultation” with industry leaders about this.

He explained that the UK needed to avoid becoming dependent on Nokia - which is currently the only other supplier used for some equipment - and he wanted to avoid “unnecessary delays” to the government’s gigabit-for-all by 2025 pledge.

BT’s Openreach division told the BBC it had in fact recently struck a deal to buy full-fibre network kit from a new supplier - the US firm Adtran - but first deliveries would only start in 2021.

[SIZE=6]Chip concerns[/SIZE]
The UK last reviewed Huawei’s role in its telecoms infrastructure in January, when it was decided to let the firm remain a supplier but introduced a cap on its market share.

But in May the US introduced new sanctions designed to disrupt Huawei’s ability to get its own chips manufactured. The Trump administration claims that Huawei provides a gateway for China to spy on and potentially attack countries that use its equipment, suggestions the company strongly rejects.

The sanctions led security officials to conclude they could no longer assure the security of its products if the company had to start sourcing chips from third-parties for use in its equipment.

The minister cited a review carried out by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre as being the motivation for the changes.

NCSC has said Huawei products adapted to use third-party chips would be “likely to suffer more security and reliability problems”.

But other political considerations are also likely to have also come into play, including the UK’s desire to strike a trade deal with the US, and growing tensions with China over its handling of the coronavirus outbreak and its treatment of Hong Kong.

Some backbench Tory MPs had pressed for a shorter time-span for its removal, in particular there had been calls for the 5G ban to come into effect before the next election in May 2024.

However, Mr Dowden said that “the shorter we make the timetable for removal, the greater the risk of actual disruption to mobile phone networks”.

Huawei already has the entire African market, Middle East Market, most of ASEAN countries market, majority of South America market, China huge internal market, Russian market, some European markets, some of Asia market. Now you tell me how will UK ban of Huawei affect them. Its just a drop of water in the ocean. Huawei is too big and established to fail. Too late

Huawei Technologies Co. owns the most patents on next-generation 5G technology, ensuring the Chinese company will get paid despite Trump administration efforts to erase it from the supply chain, according to a new study.

The study by two research firms identified the inventions most closely connected to the 5G standards and found that six companies owned more than 80% – Huawei, Samsung Electronics Co., LG Electronics Inc., Nokia Oyj, Ericsson AB and Qualcomm Inc., the only U.S.-based company in the group.

Reason they moved mpesa to safaricom

Ati too big to fail? Pass whatever you are smoking, i want to have a taste :smiley:

That Huawei 5G technology, doesnt it run on U.S microchips as well?

Among other U.S technologies and architectures.

If you rip apart the 5G components are you saying that they don’t contain any U.S chips?

Y

If ZTE did not fail then you be dreaming id you are expecting Huawei to collapse. On the contrary last year it was the world largest mobile phone manufacturer

Long live Chairman Xi

Let me just indicate i work in the telecom industry where Hw is a juggernaut but things are not rosy for hw. How long they will sustain the momentum? i cant tell for sure. They have been putting a brave face during the onslaught by DT. However the industry insiders will tell you a number of their clients around the world have developed cold feet. They have slowed down on their investments in 5G in order to better understand the “new norm”. As for ZTE if you have friends working there waambie wakupe uhondo. Otherwise it was surely going down atleast unternationally until DT came up with a new plan to help them rise again but only after they met some stringent conditions imposed by USA.

China internal market is large enough for Huawei and ZTE to survive. External market is just by the way for them. Thats why they were the largest mobile phone maker kast year despite drop in external market…its because they increased their size of China’s internal market. Thats why Huawei or ZTE can never collapse at all…China internal market is their strong tower always … But more than that middle east, developing countries such as ASEAN, Africa is their major market. So they ain’t going anywhere. Better get used to that

Huawei was literary taking over the global telecom market, i mean global. Therefore to see them only grow in their internal market means a great deal for the company. They have lost something. Stop making it seem like the dont really care about the loss of the international market. By the way its their growth internationally that is actually being fought by one DT not the chinese domestic market. DT cares little about that. Remember even google is restricted in china.

Are you aware that Huawei had built up an inventory of two years worth of microchips starting last year and if Trump wins they will be in serious problems next year?

This election is do or die for them. Covid if necessary.

Whether Trump wins or Biden wins…it wont stop American policy towards China…it would only assist them to be fully independent and self reliant and this is good for them and the world because we then have got a choice of different technologies to use rather than Monopoly. I also hope India can have some of their own technologies going global or even Russia so that we have different options as consumers

those regions you are throwing around,most of them have their balls in the hands of the US,UK and their partners,a little squeeze and they comply

Correct observation that also applies to our local market. Think of vodafone - safaricom connection

Which region Middle East? a victim of US bombing? Africa wenye wako na deni ya China? ASEAN nation, China largest trading partner in the entire world? Most of these nations have already rolled out Huawei 5G kitambo

And how are they going about being independent and self reliant?

Always funny seeing bonobos who can’t even make tooth picks schadenfreuding when America tries to kill a tech champion from a developing country just like they did to Japan in the 80s to maintain their tech supremacy.
Bonobos have no dog in this fight. Mngoje mletwe technology.

As for India and Russia you are dreaming. India is good at software. Russia is good at military hardware where they have no price competition.
