Pentagon Blocks Clampdown on Huawei Sales
The Pentagon has blocked the Commerce Department-backed ban on sales that make it harder for US-based companies to sell equipment to the handset maker. Commerce officials have withdrawn proposed regulations that would make it harder for U.S. companies to sell to Huawei from their overseas facilities following objections from the Defense Department as well as the Treasury Department, people familiar with the matter said.
The US Department of Commerce had put Huawei on the “entity list” in May 2019, thus, preventing US firms from conducting business with the company unless they obtain a specific license, citing national security concerns with the Chinese telecommunications giant.
The Commerce Department’s efforts to tighten the noose on Huawei Technologies Co. is facing a formidable obstacle: the Pentagon.
Commerce officials have withdrawn proposed regulations that would make it harder for US companies to sell to Huawei from their overseas facilities following objections from the Defense Department as well as the Treasury Department, people familiar with the matter said, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
To recall, Huawei’s latest smartphone Mate 30 Pro, unveiled in September, doesn’t contain American components. The flagship smartphone competes with the likes of Apple’s iPhone 11, which was also unveiled in September.
In the wake of the US ban, Huawei is sourcing audio amplifiers from the Netherlands’ NXP rather than Texas-based Cirrus Logic, and relying entirely on its own HiSilicon semiconductor division for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips rather than Broadcom.
The FutureNet World 2025 event just completed in London, bringing together over 700 industry leaders to talk about the future of network technology. The yearly gathering attracts top executives from global telecom companies, standards organizations, and technology suppliers. For the first time ever, the event created a special “Intelligent Network Best Practice Award” – and Huawei won the prize.
The company stands for its innovative work on smart, self-managing networks. Huawei’s winning technology helps telecom companies run their networks more intelligently with less human intervention. Their solution includes smart digital assistants designed for network maintenance, improving customer experience, and business operations.
These digital helpers fall into two main categories – the Mate series and the Spirit series. The technology has already been rolled out in many countries, showing impressive results across different types of networks including IP, optical, wireless, and core systems. Speaking at the event, Wang Shaosen, who leads Huawei’s smart network solutions, shared the company’s vision: “We’re committed to developing technology that makes networks smarter.
This will help telecom companies succeed with advanced 5G services and prepare for the future of 6G connectivity.
