Germany will use Huawei equipment to build 5G networks
Telefonica, one of the major telecommunications operators in Germany, announced a major investment plan. Telefonica said it would expand its network construction in the next few years. Recently, China Unicom recently released the world’s first full 5G Industrial Internet Gateway officially it is totally based on Huawei’s 5G module. Also, the Foxconn manufacturing and assembly plant have accepted the full order for next year’s Huawei 5G smartphones based on the Huawei 5G module. The Unit count is 50 million which is a huge number for the 5G devices.
Now, In Telefonica, the equipment currently used by the operator comes from Nokia and Huawei and plans to continue to rely on Nokia and Huawei’s technology when building 5G networks.
On November 8, German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that Germany attaches great importance to the security requirements and verifiability of enterprises involved in the construction of 5G networks, but will not set standards for a specific supplier alone.
She said that Germany will definitely increase the security standards for 5G networks, and all equipment suppliers must adhere to the same security standards. As an equipment supplier, Huawei has actively participated in the construction of 2G and 3G networks in Germany. Germany will not set a standard for a specific supplier. She also called on the EU to develop uniform 5G network security standards.

The cost of removing the Huawei equipment has risen since Huawei and ZTE have been declared as national security threats due to the practice of spies. The US wants to completely spare Chinese tech giant equipment from the county while campaigning to get rid of them.
The US imposed sanctions on Huawei equipment in 2019. The FCC was granted $1.9 billion in funding to help carriers replace Huawei and ZTE equipment with alternatives, in 2021. In the present year, it is estimated that the US needs more money to completely fulfill the job. i.e. another 3.08 billion dollars to bring the project to completion.
Why does America need more money to get the job done?
The US will spend a total of 5 billion dollars on infrastructure replacement if additional costs do not appear in between. The compensation is for carriers with more than two million users, in the first line. However, due to the lack of funds, the FCC decided to set priorities.
The US is also pressurizing European countries to do the same, apart from the fact that the US having a lack of funds in the same stream. So far, only Sweden and the UK have obeyed. Other countries continue to do business with Chinese companies, and currently, 41% of European 4G infrastructure relies on Huawei technology. The complete replacement of Huawei infrastructure will last until 2027 as later predicted.
What about other countries?
Following the US sublines some EU countries decided to go their own way despite the fact that the US needs more money to get rid of Huawei. Germany, Poland, Portugal, and Austria continue to use Huawei equipment for the 5G network as well.
Berlin rais hand to be self decision-maker in the line, about whose equipment it will opt for. Meanwhile, they’ll not give in to American pressure. As other the recent report disclose that the operator Vodafone in Germany alone would spend 2.8 billion euros to replace Huawei’s equipment.
